The summer transfer window is heating up, and Tottenham Hotspur are at the center of several intriguing rumors. A potential incoming transfer involves West Ham United's Mohammed Kudus, while club captain Son Heung-min could be on his way out. Meanwhile, newly promoted Sunderland are reportedly eyeing Liverpool's Joe Gomez to bolster their defense.
Reports suggest that Tottenham are keen on adding Mohammed Kudus to their attacking options. The Ghanaian international, currently at West Ham, has attracted attention from several top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool. West Ham are reportedly open to selling Kudus for the right price, with an £85 million release clause mentioned. Kudus is a versatile player known for his creativity, pace, and goal-scoring ability. Spurs see him as a potential key addition to their squad as new manager Thomas Frank looks to reshape the team following a disappointing campaign where they finished 17th. However, Tottenham face stiff competition for Kudus's signature, with Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Nassr also showing strong interest.
In a potentially shocking move, Tottenham are reportedly willing to sell Son Heung-min. Despite being the club captain and a fan favorite, Son has had a challenging season, struggling with form and reportedly becoming isolated in the dressing room. With just one year left on his contract, Spurs are looking to secure a market-based transfer fee for the South Korean forward. Several clubs have expressed interest in Son, including Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia, and Fenerbahce, managed by his former coach José Mourinho. Mourinho and Son have reportedly met to discuss a potential transfer to Istanbul, and the player is said to be open to reuniting with his former boss. However, Tottenham are unlikely to finalize any transfer before August 3rd, as they are commercially obligated to have Son play in a pre-season friendly against Newcastle United in Seoul. Despite the rumors, it remains uncertain whether Son will leave Spurs, especially considering his legendary status at the club.
Newly promoted Sunderland are looking to strengthen their squad for their return to the Premier League, and Liverpool's Joe Gomez has emerged as a potential target. Reports indicate that Liverpool are willing to sell Gomez for around £25 million, and Sunderland are among several Premier League clubs interested in his services. Gomez, a versatile defender capable of playing at centre-back and right-back, would bring valuable Premier League experience to Sunderland's relatively young squad. However, Sunderland face competition from other clubs, including Newcastle United, West Ham, and Everton. Despite his fitness issues, Gomez's blend of Premier League experience and defensive versatility makes him an appealing option for Sunderland. Beyond Gomez, Sunderland have also been linked with former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof, and veteran striker Jamie Vardy.
