A big transfer in England saw Mohammed Kudus end his two-year stay with West Ham and join Tottenham Hotspur across London for a fee of £55m ($74m).
The Ghana midfielder impressed in his first season in east London but his second campaign was underwhelming as he struggled to adapt to Graham Potter’s wing-back system.
Kudus’ glittering performances at Ajax had made him one of European football’s hottest properties and Spurs will be expecting the 24-year-old to rediscover that form.
Featuring in the Champions League again was one reason for his switch to north London, while the Black Stars man was also enticed by the opportunity to play for new Spurs coach Thomas Frank, who has made the switch from Brentford.
“From where [Frank] has come from, and seeing the amount of talent he has developed to become great players, it’s a big sign as to why I wanted to work under him,” said Kudus.
With Spurs legend Son Heung-Min departing and James Maddison set to miss most of the season through injury, Kudus could find himself in a pivotal role from the offset.
