From the heart of Ghana, a new footballing legend is etching his name into history.

For years, the record for Ghana’s most expensive football transfer was held by Thomas Partey, whose €50 million (approximately £45 million or GHS611.35 million) move to Arsenal in 2020 set the benchmark. But that era has now given way to a new chapter—one defined by the meteoric rise of Mohammed Kudus.

The dynamic midfielder has shattered that record with a monumental transfer from West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur, valued at £55 million (around €63 million or GHS770.3 million). This landmark deal places Kudus at the pinnacle of Ghanaian football’s global financial impact.

Tottenham and West Ham reached the agreement after Spurs’ initial £50 million bid was rejected, underlining both Kudus’ market value and Tottenham’s resolve to secure his services. His move represents not only a major coup for the North London club but also a symbolic moment for Ghanaian football.

Kudus joined West Ham in 2023 for £38 million and wasted no time in making his mark on the Premier League. His flair, vision, and incisive dribbling quickly established him as one of the most exciting talents in English football. Naturally, his performances attracted interest from a host of top-tier clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and even teams in Saudi Arabia. However, Kudus prioritised a move to Tottenham, seeing the club as the ideal next step in his career.

For Spurs, this acquisition signals a bold intent to strengthen their squad and challenge at the highest levels, including the UEFA Champions League. For Ghana, Kudus’ record-breaking transfer is more than just a statistic—it is a powerful symbol of the country’s growing footprint in world football, inspiring a new generation of talent.

Let’s take a brief look at Ghana’s top football transfers to date:

  • Mohammed Kudus – €63 million to Tottenham (2025)

  • Thomas Partey – €50 million to Arsenal (2020)

  • Michael Essien – €38 million to Chelsea (2005)

  • Abdul Baba Rahman – €26 million to Chelsea (2015)

Now standing at the very top of this elite list, Kudus’ achievement cements his place among the greats of Ghanaian football. His journey continues, and all eyes will be on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the world awaits his next chapter.
