# Tottenham: Spurs fighting Newcastle for Mohammed Kudus

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) are ‘interested’ in signing Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus, but face competition from Newcastle United amongst others, according to [Ghanasoccernet](https://twitter.com/Ghanasoccernet/status/1562133415075405825).**

### The lowdown: Career so far

[Signed](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohammed-kudus/transfers/spieler/543499) from Danish outfit Nordsjaelland having been snapped up there from Ghanaian academy Right to Dream as a youngster in 2018, Kudus has made an impressive start to life in Dutch football.

The 22-year-old Ghana international has directly contributed to [10 goals in 46 outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohammed-kudus/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/543499) for the Eredivisie side and has already [lifted](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohammed-kudus/erfolge/spieler/543499) the top flight title twice along with one domestic cup.

Now, it appears as though those fledgeling exploits have already attracted major attention, including from Hotspur Way…

### The latest: Spurs linked

As per [Ghanasoccernet](https://twitter.com/Ghanasoccernet/status/1562133415075405825) on Twitter, Tottenham, Newcastle, Everton and Leeds are all believed to be keen on the [16-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohammed-kudus/nationalmannschaft/spieler/543499/verein_id/3441) star.

“Everton, Tottenham, Leeds and Newcastle are the FOUR English clubs interested in Mohammed Kudus.

“These are interests with no official offers on the table from the English clubs. One of the 4 clubs have asked for a character reference from his former club Nordsjaelland.”

The Magpies are likely to be the biggest threat to Fabio Paratici’s efforts given their new-found riches and [late activity in the market](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/aug/24/newcastle-alexander-isak-real-sociedad-record-59m).

### The verdict: Smart option

[Supremely versatile](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohammed-kudus/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/543499) and young enough to develop his already host of [strong attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/400166/Show/Mohammed-Kudus) even further, Kudus would be an exceptional capture for the Lilywhites as Fabio Paratici and Antonio Conte plan for the immediate and long-term future.

Last season, the powerful midfielder – hailed as an [‘exciting player’](https://twitter.com/TacticallyMatt/status/1560688739168444418) by football analyst Tactically Matt on Twitter – scored [six times and provided one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohammed-kudus/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/543499/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in 25 appearances across all competitions.

So far this term, Kudus has earned an outstanding 7.20 [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/mohammed-kudus/905163) rating whilst winning 3.3 duels and completing 2.7 dribbles on average per game in the Dutch top flight, further proof a player ready to make the next step in a promising career.

Holding an estimated market value of £9million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohammed-kudus/marktwertverlauf/spieler/543499)), signing the Ghana star would be a wholly affordable venture for Tottenham and one that the north Londoners should be pushing to get done.
