For just 55 million pounds, Tottenham Hotspur signed one of the best wingers in the Premier League last summer from rivals West Ham United, no less, and it is hard not to think that Kudus, even if he missed the final months of the season injured, was the difference between the Hammers going down on Matchday 38 and Spurs staying up. Given how terrible Tottenham were without the Ghanaian international, who was their best player and the focal point of the attack under the miserable Thomas Frank, it's safe to say the Kudus transfer was vital.
As Tottenham fans wonder who the next left winger and striker will be for Roberto De Zerbi next season, they are as excited to watch the new Italian head coach work with Kudus as they are to see any player under the manager. Because of the injury, Kudus never actually got to play a single minute under De Zerbi last season.
Meanwhile, as if it were not already a great deal for Tottenham, the Kudus transfer is on the cusp of looking even better. Because a year later, West Ham are interested in taking a winger from Tottenham in an effort to follow in the foot steps of Leeds United and get out of the EFL Championship. After having to sell star left winger Crysencio Summerville to Al Hilal of the Saudi Pro League, the Hammers are now interested in wantaway Tottenham Hotspur left winger Manor Solomon.
Tottenham are showing West Ham levels
Neither Solomon nor his agent have made it any secret that they want out, while Tottenham have been uninterested in Solomon since last summer, but all they could do was settle on loan deals to Villarreal and Fiorentina in successive transfer windows.
Tottenham have been busy trying to pump Solomon's transfer value up by playing him as much as anyone in the preseason, and while he has been pretty mediocre overall, he has been involved in a couple of goals, which has buoyed his transfer value. Hence why West Ham are suddenly interested in the player.
Manor Solomon is actually a great option for the Championship and proved useful to Leeds, though it is telling that not even the Peacocks wanted to give him a run in the Premier League last season - nor did Villarreal or Fiorentina want to keep hold of him after six months.
Effectively swapping Mohammed Kudus for Solomon with West Ham a year later, even factoring in tens of millions of pounds, sounds like a great deal for Spurs, in addition to rubbing salt in the wound of the Hammers by showing their rivals levels.
