Reported Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Mohammed Kudus is reportedly open to making a move to the Premier League.
The Lowdown: Spurs linked with Kudus
The north London club were linked with a move for the Ghana international during the summer transfer window. Since then, the 22-year-old has gone on to score 10 goals in 21 club appearances for Ajax, also netting twice in three World Cup appearances for Ghana in Qatar recently.
Following his efforts for his country, it seems as though some details have emerged regarding the possibility of a future move for the player.
The Latest: Kudus open to Premier League move
According to a recent report from The Sun, the Ajax star is open to a move to the Premier League, but only to a club which is able to offer him Champions League football.
The report adds that the Amsterdam giants are likely to ask for £40m to sell the attacking midfielder.

The Verdict: Worth the money
In addition to scoring five goals across his 14 Eredivisie games this season, Kudus has successfully completed more dribbles (23) than any other player at Ajax.
He also has the second-highest rate of shots on target per 90 minutes (1.79) at the Johan Cruyff Arena, further highlighting how tricky a player he can be for opponents.
Having also scored four goals and provided two assists in six Champions League appearances this season, the Ghanaian has earned himself an overall performance rating of 7.34/10, the highest of any Ajax player in the tournament according to WhoScored.
Hailed for his “magnificent” performances in the World Cup by journalist Seb Stafford-Bloor, Kudus would be an exciting signing for Spurs given his clear attacking talent.
Despite the rather hefty transfer fee that Ajax would seemingly want for the player, this is definitely an investment that Spurs should consider making, especially if Antonio Conte sees Kudus as a suitable player for his squad.
