What next for Mohammed Kudus if Tottenham Hotspur are relegated?

Mohammed Kudus’ future could quickly become one of the defining transfer stories of the summer if Tottenham Hotspur drop into the Championship.

At 25, the Ghana international remains one of the club’s most valuable assets. Signed from West Ham United for £55 million on a six-year deal, Kudus arrived with expectations of becoming a central attacking figure. His wages, reported around £150,000 per week, place him among the club’s high earners, a level that would be difficult to sustain outside the Premier League.

Relegation would almost certainly trigger a squad reset. For players of Kudus’ profile, the Championship rarely fits either sporting ambition or financial structure. Even without a formal relegation clause, Tottenham would face pressure to sell, while interest from top European clubs would be immediate.

His situation is complicated by injury. Kudus is currently sidelined with a significant hamstring problem and is expected to miss the remainder of the season. His decision to avoid surgery and focus on rehabilitation reflects a clear priority: being fit for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

On the pitch, his numbers, two goals and five assists in 19 league appearances, offer only a partial picture. His versatility, ball-carrying and creativity remain strong selling points.

If Tottenham go down, Kudus is unlikely to follow. The more realistic scenario is a summer move, with his next step shaped by recovery, World Cup ambitions and demand from Europe’s top leagues.
