West Ham United Vice Chair Karren Brady has explained the reasoning behind the club’s decision to part ways with Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus, who joined Tottenham Hotspur earlier this summer on a five-year deal.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Brady pointed to financial constraints and Kudus’ dip in form last season as major factors behind the transfer.
“The financial restraints and the PSR and all the rules and regulations in football mean that you have to do some trading. That’s just the way it is. All clubs are having to do it… so that was the decision made. [Kudus] didn’t particularly have a good season for West Ham last year by his own standards. So we looked to move on,” she explained.
Kudus, who was named West Ham’s second-best player in his debut campaign, struggled to replicate his form in his second season, registering just three assists in 32 league appearances before sealing the switch.
The 22-year-old has since made a bright start at Spurs, providing two assists on his Premier League debut in their 3-0 victory over Burnley.
