Tottenham can raise £60m Mohammed Kudus transfer fee by selling three players - Opinion
Tottenham could raise the money needed to fund a move for Mohammed Kudus by selling three fringe players this summer, with £60 million the reported fee that could be enough to convince West Ham to sell.
Tottenham Hotspur are now reported to be going all in on Mohammed Kudus, with reports from Fabrizio Romano stating that the club are looking to accelerate talks with West Ham United.
Tottenham fans are already convinced Kudus would improve their attack should he be signed, with many urging the club to get the deal done for the Hammers winger.
Kudus has an £85 million release clause, but Tottenham are hopeful of landing the Hammers winger for a cut-price deal, with £60 million reported to be enough to prise him away from the London Stadium.
If Daniel Levy and his team are unwilling to inject significant funds into the squad this summer, then player sales could be the easiest route to reaching the £60 million valuation.
We have now highlighted three players Spurs could sell to raise £60 million for Mohammed Kudus this summer.
Tottenham could sell Richarlison to fund half the Mohammed Kudus deal
It is no news that Richarlison’s future at Tottenham is uncertain, as it was revealed a few weeks ago that the forward is considering a move away from Spurs as he is eager to get into the Brazil squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
The 28-year-old forward has not been short of options, with clubs in Saudi Arabia showing interest in Richarlison, while Fenerbahce are also keen on bringing the Brazilian forward to Turkey.
It was recently reported that Thomas Frank has greenlit Richarlison’s sale and that Spurs are not looking to loan him out, but are instead aiming for a permanent exit.
£20million is the rumoured price Spurs would be looking to demand. However, the Lilywhites could push for a £30million transfer, which, while lower than the £50million they paid for Richarlison, would still help fund a move for Kudus.
Spurs could also sell Manor Solomon for £15 million
Solomon is another sellable asset Tottenham have and one who already has interest from sides in the Premier League, which is ideal.
At the moment, Leeds United are keen on making Solomon’s move back to Elland Road permanent, and a fee in the region of £15million has been rumoured as what the newly promoted side is willing to pay.
If Tottenham can sanction a sale at that price tag, that would bolster their financial pot. £30million from Richarlison and £15million from Solomon would leave Tottenham just £15 million away from the £60 million price tag West Ham have put on Mohammed Kudus.
Yves Bissouma’s inconsistency could see him move for £15 million
Yves Bissouma is one Spurs player with 12 months left on his contract and, given the Malian’s inconsistencies, it remains to be seen if Tottenham would offer him another deal.
Bissouma was inconsistent for most of last season, with the holding midfielder eventually finding himself down the pecking order as Lucas Bergvall replaced him in the starting eleven.
Back in March, crunch talks were reported to have been held with the 28-year-old midfielder, and it was claimed that Tottenham are looking to sell Bissouma.
So far, interest has come from Fenerbahce, who are looking to sign Bissouma this summer, and if Tottenham can sell him for £15million, then they would have successfully raised the £60million needed to sign Kudus from West Ham.
Should there be a need for any additional add-ons, then Bryan Gil’s £10million move to Girona could cover that, as well as Alejo Veliz’s potential £5million sale.
