West Ham are strapped for cash and need to sell this summer to raise funds for a much-needed squad rebuild.

After captain Jarrod Bowen, who is untouchable, Kudus is the club’s most valuable asset and, therefore, available this summer, and for less than his £85m release clause fee.

Kudus impressed following his £38m move from Ajax in 2023, but, along with many of his team-mates, his performances dropped last season as the Hammers finished 14th in a largely forgettable campaign.

It is understood that he is open to challenging himself at a bigger club like Spurs, but is unlikely to force a move.

Kudus was offered to Chelsea unexpectedly earlier this month, but there is a disparity between the clubs’ respective valuations of the player. Other unnamed clubs are also monitoring his situation and could move for him.

Chelsea are still active in the market and being kept aware of Kudus’s situation, despite last week agreeing deals totalling a combined £115m for versatile attackers Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro.
