Tottenham interested in West Ham star Mohammed Kudus in surprise transfer not seen for 14 years
TOTTENHAM are interested in making their first signing from West Ham in 14 years. The North London outfit are keen on Hammers star Mohammed Kudus this summer. 4 4 Kudus, 24, arrived at the London Stadium in 2023 from Ajax for a fee of £35million. West Ham beat competition from Brighton and Hove Albion and Chelsea to snare the Ghanaian star's signature. However, the club are open to cashing in on the attacker in order to fund their own summer rebuild for manager Graham Potter. The Telegraph have claimed that Kudus could be set to the unlikely destination of rivals Tottenham. The Europa League winners are said to be open to breaking their "unofficial transfer embargo" to sign Kudus. Should a transfer go through, he would be the first player to move directly to Spurs since Scott Parker in 2011. The former England international joined the Hammers' rivals after their relegation to the Championship. Parker was a shining light at Upton Park that season as he was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year despite the club finishing bottom. Kudus is said to be open to the controversial transfer and has a release clause of £85m. A move would see him return to Champions League football and play under Thomas Frank. Tottenham release new 'dark' away kit for 2025/26 season Players who played for both Here is a look at the players who have turned out for both West Ham and Tottenham... David Bentley Scott Parker Michael Carrick Callum Davenport Ryan Fredericks Jermain Defoe Federick Kanoute Matthew Etherington Les Ferdinand Teddy Sheringham Neil Ruddock Bobby Zamora Mitchell Thomas John Moncur Chris Hughton Clive Allen Robbie Keane Jimmy Walker Paul Allen Martin Peters Jimmy Greaves Spurs are yet to make an official offer for Kudus but could face competition from Chelsea and Newcastle. Kudus starred for the Hammers in his debut season in the Premier League. He scored 14 goals and assisted six more across all competitions as the club finished 9th and reached the Europa League quarter-finals. Last season, he failed to continue his electrifying performances as West Ham slumped to a 14th-placed finish in the Premier League. 4 He could only muster five goals and four assists in 35 appearances in all competitions. Kudus has recently changed agents to the renowned sports management firm ROOF amid speculation over his future. West Ham are yet to add to their squad this summer despite the exits of long-serving players Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal and Lukas Fabianski. There is still uncertainty over the future of Michail Antonio with his contract set to expire. The club's Premier League record goalscorer has not played for the club since his horror car crash in December. But he has made his return to the pitch as he appeared for Jamaica in the 1-0 Gold Cup loss to Guatemala earlier this month. 4

Tammy Abraham closing in on £17million Roma transfer exit to link up with ex-Man Utd boss
TAMMY ABRAHAM is set for a move to Turkey with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas. The England striker has spend the last four seasons in Italy after laving boyhood club Chelsea. 2 Abraham, 27, joined Roma in 2021 and netted 37 times in 120 appearances for I Giallorossi. The 6ft 4in striker spent last season on loan with Italian rivals AC Milan, netting ten times in all competitions. But that wasn't enough to earn a permanent move as Milan suffered a disappointing season. And he could now be set for a new challenge in Turkey's Super Lig. According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, a verbal agreement has been made between Roma and Besiktas, with Abraham set to jet in for a medical soon. Abraham would be a statement signing Solskjaer, who took the reins in Turkey in January after a three-year spell away from management following his ill-fated tenure with Manchester United. Abraham will join Besiktas' current front-man Ciro Immobile, who netted 15 league goals last season after making his own switch from Serie A in the summer. His arrival would bolster a squad full of ex-Premier League talent, including Arsenal and Liverpool star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and ex- Spurs disappointment Gedson Fernandes. 2 The deal would spark Besiktas' quiet transfer window into life, with their only other business so far being making last year's loan signings of Felix Uduokhai and Joao Mario permanent. Roma appointed former Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini as they're new manager earlier this month, throwing Abraham's future into uncertainty. Abraham would be the latest in a series of Roma departures, with midfielder Enzo le Fee, full-back Samuel Dahl and winger Nicola Zalewski all completing permanent moves away from the club this summer. Abraham moved to Italy for a fee of £35m four years ago after he failed to cement himself in the Chelsea set-up.

17 players leaving Arsenal as Mikel Arteta's summer rebuild takes shape
Arsenal are set to release 17 players on Monday as their contracts expire, with a number of high profile first-team squad members to leave the club A host of Arsenal players will bid farewell to the club on Monday. In total, 17 players will be saying their goodbyes to the Emirates Stadium due to their contracts expiring on June 30. The list of departing stars includes several high-profile first-team squad members, as well as promising young talents yet to make their mark on the game. Among those set to depart is Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian international was a regular fixture in the first team during the 2024/25 season and Mikel Arteta had expressed his desire for the midfielder to stay. However, no agreement has been reached over an extension and Partey is now poised to leave the club as a free agent. The former Atletico Madrid player has not yet officially posted a goodbye message to fans, and the club has not confirmed his departure, leaving a slim chance that an extension could be announced this week. As it stands, however, Partey will not be playing his football at the Emirates next season. One senior star who is definitely leaving is Kieran Tierney. The left-back quickly endeared himself to fans after joining from Celtic in August 2019 and went on to make 144 appearances for the club, even scoring in his last appearance against Southampton on the final day of last season. "It'll be hard but it's a happy goodbye," said a sentimental Tierney as he prepares to rejoin Celtic on July 1, reflecting fondly in his farewell interview. "I've loved it here, loved every minute of it. There are countless memories that are amazing for me; your debut is always special, and winning the FA Cup as well in the first season. It's a great team, and I'm so close to some of the boys in there. I've been here a long time, so it'll be sad but a happy goodbye." Arsenal 's loan signings Raheem Sterling and Neto wave goodbye, as they head back to Chelsea and Bournemouth respectively after a season at Emirates. Sterling found the net just once during his 28 appearances for Arsenal, whereas backup keeper Neto only appeared four times behind David Raya. Despite the buzz surrounding Nathan Butler-Oyedeji following his debuts in the Champions League and Premier League, the promising forward is set to leave Arsenal with speculation linking him with clubs around Europe. The 22 year old's future lies away from north London after limited opportunities this past season. Penning a heartfelt farewell on Instagram, the player expressed: "Dear Arsenal fans. After 14 years at this club my time at Arsenal has come to an end. I would like to thank firstly God for giving me the opportunity to realise my dream for playing for Arsenal. I want to extend my appreciation to the first team, my parents, all coaches, physios, chefs and cleaners and teammates I've worked alongside with and most importantly the life blood of the club, the fans. "I want to thank everyone who has supported me along the way through my hardships and through my good times. Arsenal will always hold a special place in my heart as being a boyhood Arsenal fan it was a dream come true to make my debut for the club. I will always be a part of the Arsenal family. I look forward to where my journey takes me next." Jimi Gower, aged 20, had the honour of his name appearing on the bench multiple times throughout the 2024/25 season, similarly to Jack Henry-Francis, 21, who is set to say his own goodbyes after a nine-year tenure with the squad. Khayon Edwards, another promising talent at 21, moves on after an impressive run in the Under-21s, where he netted 12 goals and dished out three assists across 21 matches – certainly catching the eye of prospective clubs. Meanwhile, other departing young guns may not share the same limelight but are no less talented, with bright futures predicted thanks to their evident skill. The 17 players set to depart Arsenal when their contracts expire on 30 June are: Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey, Raheem Sterling, Neto, Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, Khayon Edwards, Jimi Gower, Jack Henry-Francis, Brian Okonkwo, Ismail Oulad M'Hand, Salah-Eddine Oulad M'Hand, Elian Quesada-Thorn, Jakai Fisher, Reece Clairmont, Romari Forde, Max Kuczynski, and Zacariah Shuaib.
