Mohammed Kudus was a transfer target for Chelsea and Manchester United
Football fans of some Premier League clubs have expressed different opinions on social media after it became known that Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus has reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur over a transfer deal.
Spurs reached an agreement to sign Kudus from West Ham United on July 9, 2025.
According to sports journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic, an amount of £55 million was accepted by the London club, which had initially been demanding a fee in the region of £85 million.
It was noted that Kudus will travel to Tottenham to undergo medical examinations on Thursday, July 10, 2025, to finalise the deal.
Reacting to the news, some Chelsea supporters expressed dissatisfaction with the move, as they had been expecting the Black Stars attacker to exercise patience while the club sold Noni Madueke to raise funds to sign him.
Others asserted that Kudus’ downturn in performance during the 2024/2025 season contributed to Chelsea not making genuine efforts to secure his signature, leading to the signing of Joao Pedro instead.
On the other hand, Manchester United fans also blamed their officials for their inability to sign Kudus to bolster their team despite expressing interest for quite some time.
The Red Devils have yet to make a signing this summer, despite approaching top players to register their interest.

He made his choice and we respect that. He would be an additional plus for Chelsea. We wish him all the best.
