Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly secured the signing of Mohammed Kudus for what seems a bargain fee, and a new report has suggested that the Ghana international helped Spurs’ cause by turning up the pressure on the East London club.Tottenham have reportedly struck a £55m deal to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, with the winger soon expected to undergo a medical at Hotspur Way before signing a six-year contract.Their fee left many people surprised, given that reports indicated that West Ham wanted at least £60m for Kudus and some sources even suggested that the Hammers would add a Tottenham tax to the Kudus deal.It turns out that the reason the Lilywhites got a favourable deal could be partly down to the actions of the Ghanaian over the last few days.Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Getty ImagesHow Mohammed Kudus may have forced West Ham’s handA new report in The Guardian puts the fee at £54.5m and reveals that the payment from Spurs will be spread over three years.Interestingly, the outlet says that Kudus turned up the pressure on his club by reporting late for training on two separate occasions this week.While that is unlikely to have pleased Graham Potter, it is revealed that the former Ajax man also put in a transfer request to the West Ham hierarchy, making his desire to leave the club very clear.While we may never know how much impact his actions had on the Hammers accepting Tottenham Hotspur’s bid, it is clear that the winger’s antics aided the Lilywhites’ efforts.It had previously been reported by Fabrizio Romano that Kudus was not even willing to speak to any other club apart from Spurs.West Ham were also under PSR pressureThe Guardian also point out that another factor which played a role in the transfer is the fact that the East London club were desperate to revamp their squad but could not do so without breaching the PSR rules.They were thus in a hurry to raise cash, with West Ham having to sell before they could buy, and Kudus was seen as their most sellable asset.So it is clear that it took a series of difficult circumstances to force David Sullivan to finally do a deal with Daniel Levy, with Kudus becoming the first player since Scott Parker in 2011 to swap West Ham for Spurs.READ MORE: Thomas Frank wants to add defensive depth in one position at TottenhamThe post Mohammed Kudus took two extreme measures to push through Tottenham transfer appeared first on Spurs Web.
