Mohammed Kudus has etched his name into Ghanaian football history, becoming the nations most expensive player ever with a sensational £55 million (approximately 63 million) transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
The 24-year-old attacking midfielders move from West Ham United shatters the previous record set by Thomas Partey, who joined Arsenal for £45 million (approximately 50 million) in 2020.
Kudus, known for his dazzling dribbles, versatility, and clinical finishing, has been a standout performer in the Premier League since arriving at West Ham from Ajax in 2023.
His explosive performances, including 18 goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances last season, caught the eye of Tottenhams recruitment team, who moved swiftly to secure his signature in a deal finalised this week.
The transfer marks a significant milestone for Ghanaian football, underscoring the growing global influence of the Black Stars talent pool.
Kudus, a product of the Right to Dream Academy, expressed his pride in representing his nation on such a stage.
This is a dream come true, not just for me but for every young boy in Ghana who dares to dream big
Im here to work hard and make my country proud, he remarked.
