David Ornstein writes in The Athletic that Tottenham Hotspur had a formal bid of £50m REJECTED by West Ham United for the purchase of Mohammed Kudus. This comes on the heels of, uh, less reputable sources that say that Chelsea have expressed interest in Kudus.

West Ham have rejected a £50 million ($69m) bid from Tottenham for midfielder Mohammed Kudus, a source has told ESPN.

Tottenham have failed with their first proposal for Mohammed Kudus but the West Ham star has ‘said yes’ to joining Spurs, according to Fabrizio Romano.
