‘West Ham line up two signings’ as £55m Kudus update emerges after Tottenham bid
West Ham could complete a double signing once a deal for Mohammed Kudus goes through.
The Ghana international has been strongly linked with a Hammers exit this summer, with a move across the capital looking likely at this stage.
This has seen Thomas Frank come in and test the resolve of the London Stadium club with a sizable bid for the 24-year-old.
If a deal for the versatile attacker is to go through, the Irons could move quickly to complete two transfers and kickstart their summer business.
Kudus could make way for two deals at West Ham
There is no doubt that the claret and blue outfit will want to see the back of the ex-Ajax man as an exit looks increasingly likely.
This is especially the case as financial issues loom due to the Lucas Paqueta uncertainty, something which is hampering potential summer dealings.
With that being said, Graham Potter is still holding out for a positive fee for the Ghanaian after rejecting a £50million bid from Tottenham on 5 July [The Athletic].
Ex-Brentford and Leicester City boss Martin Allen believes the Hammers could secure £55m for his signature and utilise that to land two new signings.
“I wouldn’t be bothered where he goes, I’d be worried about the amount we’d be getting for him,” Allen exclusively told West Ham Zone.
“That money should enable West Ham to get two players who are at the Premier League level.
“If Kudus goes, I won’t care one little bit.
“Last season, it didn’t look as if he was with it or totally focused. They already have Summerville, so as soon as he’s fit, I’m sure he’ll come in.
“If they can get £55m for Kudus, I would take it, be positive and proactive to get those two players.
“They must have them lined up already to get those deals done.
“He doesn’t want to be at West Ham, and I think it would be a positive deal for Potter to get something happening straight away.“
West Ham to accept £55m from Tottenham for Kudus
It feels entirely logical to move the left-footed attacker on this summer after what was a disappointing campaign by his usual standards.
Kudus was completely outshone by Jarrod Bowen for the Irons, with his lack of goal output being a point of widespread frustration.

| Appearances | 35 |

| Assists | 5 |
As a result, offloading him for a fee in the region of £55m would be superb business for Potter as himself and Kyle Macaulay look to work their magic.
