Tottenham’s latest signing etches his name into Ghanaian football history

Mohammed Kudus has officially become the most expensive Ghanaian footballer of all time following his blockbuster £55 million move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 24-year-old midfielder put pen to paper on a long-term deal with the Europa League champions, eclipsing the previous record held by Thomas Partey, whose £45.3 million switch from Atlético Madrid to Arsenal in 2020 now sits in second place.

Kudus, who joined West Ham United last summer for £38 million, continues to make history with each move. Ghana legend Michael Essien’s £24.4 million transfer to Chelsea and Ernest Nuamah’s £22 million move to Lyon round out the top five.

After attracting strong interest from top clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea, Kudus chose North London as his next destination. His impressive stint at West Ham — where he scored 19 goals in 80 appearances — solidified his status as one of the Premier League’s standout attacking talents.

He’s set to link up with his new Spurs teammates this week under Danish boss Thomas Frank, with his first major challenge being the UEFA Super League showdown against European giants Paris Saint-Germain.

Kudus’ rise continues — and this latest milestone is one for the history books.
