- Kudus left West Ham to join Spurs
- Brady speaks about summer transfer
- New signing already shining at Tottenham
Kudus swapped West Ham for Tottenham this summer in a transfer worth around £55 million ($75m). He has signed a six-year deal with Thomas Frank’s side and is the first player to make the move from West Ham to Spurs since Scott Parker back in 2011.
Kudus has already made an impact in north London. He bagged two assists on Saturday as Tottenham opened up their campaign with a 3-0 win over Burnley. In contrast, West Ham slumped to a 3-0 defeat to newly-promoted Sunderland. Brady has now lifted the lid on West Ham’s decision to let Kudus go and says he didn’t particularly impress for her club last season.
She told talkSPORT’s Sunday Edition: “It’s always difficult to lose players that you want to keep. But 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. You’re either restricted on what you can buy because you have to be careful of the financial rules or you have to sell to try and buy.So that was the decision that was made. [Kudus] didn’t have a particularly good season for West Ham last year by his own standards. So we looked to move on.”
Kudus will be hoping to maintain his strong start to life on Spurs on Saturday against Manchester City. Tottenham then face Bournemouth before a clash with Kudus’ former team West Ham on September 13.
