'A great signing who will suit this squad' or 'all show and no go'?
We asked for your views on the news Spurs have agreed a £55m fee to sign West Ham's Mohammed are some of your comments:Peter: Kudus is a good signing but not a world-class one. He is either a massive part of West Ham's attacking output or an inconsistent player who has quality but can't always reach it. £55m is a bit too much for me and I also think that Dejan Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert and Son Heung-min (if he stays) is a lot of competition so Thomas Frank will need to get the best out of him and others. Big price tag. Big player. I'm excited for what is Totally underwhelmed by Kudus. 55p is too much, let alone £55m. Reminds me of Erik Lamela - all show and no Kudus represents a great signing whose playing style will suit this squad. If he can find his feet at Spurs he would be part of a dynamic attack that would grace any Premier League club. With Dominic Solanke, Son, Johnson, Kulusevski, Odobert and Mikey Moore, the options are looking good! Too much to add Eberechi Eze instead of Richarlison?Not a Spurs fan? Find and follow your club herePaul: Not sure about this one as Kudus didn't play much for West Ham and £55m is a bit too much to pay for a Hammers reserve. Would have preferred us to pay the money required for Eze and even Marcus Rashford but you never know how things will turn out as there is still a while to go before the transfer window We've needed a player of Kudus' calibre and quality for so long now. Feels like a Spurs player and I think it's a good Kudus had just three good games last year. Dispossessed too often and inaccurate passing blighted the Hammers. Frank must instil discipline in him. But where's our goal poacher?Josh: Not too sure on this one to be honest. But, always happy to be proven wrong. If he can reignite his form from his first season in the Premier League, then he could be a difference If Frank wants him and can improve him, then it makes sense. Also, this is an experienced PL player, which is important for us.
