Go to Tottenham for 55 million pounds! TA: Chelsea wanted to trade Hall + 40 million pounds for Kudus, but was rejected
TA wrote an article to reveal the details behind the scenes of Kudus joining Tottenham for 63.8 million euros this summer.
Kudus has been planning to leave West Ham United this summer, and Chelsea once took the lead in chasing players. They had agreed with the players on personal terms, but there was a stumbling block: Chelsea proposed a swap deal, exchanging Kudus for £40 million + Hall, but was rejected. The clubs failed to reach an agreement, and Hall eventually joined Everton for 30 million pounds.
Tottenham also regarded Kudus as a transfer target. They asked for the first time in July and made a £50 million offer, but were rejected. West Ham United executives were unwilling to accept offers of less than £60 million, but Tottenham was the only club to make a formal offer for Cudus.
At the same time, Chelsea is still trying to introduce Kudus, and Tottenham hopes Kudus can guarantee that he can join, and is worried that Chelsea will intercept the ruthlessness from it.
The player promised Tottenham that he would join and believed that he would get more opportunities to play in Tottenham. In the end, he joined Tottenham Hotspur for 55 million pounds (63.8 million euros).
