English Premier League club Newcastle United are still interested in signing Ghana international Mohammed Kudus.
The club, according to sources, are considering making a bid of £50 million to secure the services of the Black Stars poster boy from West Ham United.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are facing strong opposition from Tottenham Hotspur.
While Mohammed Kudus’ contract includes a £85 million release clause for Premier League clubs, Tottenham Hotspur is optimistic of snatching the highly-rated Ghanaian midfielder below the fee, which runs for the first 10 days of July.
Despite expressing interest in attackers Antoine Semenyo, Bryan Mbeumo, and Eberechi Eze, the former Nordjaelland and Ajax star is said to be the most likely signing for Tottenham to bolster the attacking options of new head coach Thomas Frank.
West Ham are willing to sell the 24-year-old to help finance a summer rebuild under head coach Graham Potter.
Kudus, who is believed to be open to the prospect of a move across London, believes it will be a step forward in his career if the move materialises.
Joining Spurs would make Kudus the first player to move directly from West Ham since midfielder Scott Parker in 2011.
