Ghana’s former Vice President joins nation in celebrating Kudus’ £55m Premier League transfer

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has hailed Mohammed Kudus’ impending move to Tottenham Hotspur, calling it a proud moment for Ghana as one of the nation’s brightest footballing stars takes a major step forward in his career.

The Ghana international is on the verge of completing a high-profile £55 million transfer from West Ham United to Spurs, with a medical scheduled in the coming days. Kudus is expected to sign a six-year deal with the North London club.

Reacting to the news on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Dr. Bawumia — a self-professed Tottenham fan — shared his joy:

> “I am excited to see our Ghanaian starboy make this move to my Spurs. All the best in your medical, Mohammed Kudus.”

Kudus joined West Ham from Ajax in 2023 for £38 million and quickly made an impact in his debut season, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists across all competitions. In the Premier League alone, the 24-year-old featured in 35 matches, scoring five times and assisting four goals.

His contract at West Ham runs until 2028 and contains a multi-tier release clause which opened earlier this month — with values ranging from £80 million for non-English clubs to a hefty £120 million for suitors from Saudi Arabia.

Now, as Tottenham gear up for a return to the UEFA Champions League, Kudus’ European pedigree — honed at Ajax — is seen as a critical asset. His flair, versatility, and goal-scoring instincts are expected to boost Ange Postecoglou’s attacking options significantly.

Ghanaians across the world, including top political figures like Dr. Bawumia, are watching with pride as one of their own prepares to light up the Premier League in new colours.
