TA: Tottenham s 50 million pound offer against West Ham winger Kudus was rejected, negotiations continue

July 8th TheAthletic wrote an article to take stock of Tottenham's recent transfer trends.

Tottenham's offer of 50 million pounds against West Ham winger Kudus was rejected, but negotiations between the two clubs continued. Kudus ranked second in the Premier League every 90 minutes (3.18 times), second only to Manchester City's Duku (6.36 times).

The players have started pre-season training this week under the leadership of new coach Frank. According to the club's official website, the first day of training was July 5, and the first batch of players who returned to the team were mainly those who did not participate in international competitions last month.

The next group of players who will represent the national team in early June are expected to return to the team within the next few days. The final return will be Archie Gray, Odobel and Terr, who all participated in the U21 European Youth Championship that ended on June 28.

Soviet Hotspur has been interested in signing a new winger from another Premier League club since the transfer window opened. They are interested in Brentford striker Mbemo, but the players themselves prefer to join Manchester United. They also asked about Bournemouth striker Semey, who has renewed his contract.

Tottenham submitted a formal offer for Cudus, and negotiations between the clubs continued, indicating that this is their most substantial pursuit so far this summer. Given that a substantial transfer fee may be useful to West Ham, there is a high possibility that Kudus will eventually join Tottenham at a higher price.

Tottenham's priority goal is to introduce a high-profile wing player. But that's not all they've signed up. Tottenham are also exploring the possibility of signing another fullback, with left back being a position where they obviously need to add depth.

Depending on the departure of players at key positions, they may need experienced reinforcements. For example, while they have increased depth at the centre-back position, if Christian Romero leaves this summer, Tottenham will look for an experienced replacement, such as Genoa defender De Winter.

Among the existing main players, the ones that are most concerned by other clubs are Romero and Son Heung-min.

Romero's five-year contract has two years left, and Atletico Madrid coach Simeone has publicly expressed his interest in him. Tottenham does not want to lose Romero, and Atletico Madrid has not yet made contact with him.

Sun Heung-min has one year left in the contract. He has played for Tottenham for ten years and won the championship trophy in the Europa League final at the end of May. Whether Son Heung-min will leave the team this summer or stay in the team to participate in the Champions League again remains to be seen. Son Heung-min has attracted Saudi Arabia’s attention.
