Tottenham dealt West Ham United a major setback when they signed Mohammed Kudus from the Hammers during the summer transfer window. The East London club have struggled to create chances this season following the Ghanaian’s departure, and it is fair to say that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are now battling for Premier League survival as they search for a way to fill the void left by the 25-year-old.
Meanwhile, Spurs supporters are witnessing the very best of their summer signing. Kudus has quickly adapted to life at N17 and has established himself as one of Tottenham’s standout performers this season. He marked his home debut by providing two assists against Burnley on the opening day, and since then, the prolific winger has gone from strength to strength.

Mohammed Kudus is enjoying life under Thomas Frank at Tottenham.
Kudus has missed the last two matches due to a minor knock sustained in training, and his absence has already been felt on the right flank. Tottenham’s heavy reliance on the Ghanaian to create and convert chances has been exposed, as Thomas Frank’s side continue to struggle in his absence. Without his presence, the Lilywhites have found it difficult to break down opposition defences and turn their league form around.
Mohammed Kudus has been the best Tottenham attacker this season
Mohammed Kudus is already proving to be worth every penny of his transfer fee. The Ghanaian has been instrumental in Thomas Frank’s system, consistently performing across all competitions and adding a new dimension to Tottenham’s attack. He has created more chances than any other Spurs player in the Premier League this season and has already registered four assists, the most by any player in the squad.
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has now heaped praise on Kudus, describing him as Tottenham’s best summer signing. Speaking on talkSPORT, Murphy said,
“Kudus is the only one who’s been a success. He constantly looks like a threat. And he constantly looks like their best creative player, their only creative player in certain games.”
Murphy believes Mohammed Kudus is currently Tottenham’s inly genuine attacking threat. The Ghanaian’s pace, creativity, and flair down the right-flank make him a vital figure in the final third for the North Londoners. His ability to change games single-handedly has already been crucial for Spurs this season, validating Murphy’s assessment that the team relies heavily on him in decisive moments.
Fans will hope that the prolific winger continues his good form once he returns to full fitness in a few days’ time. If Tottenham are aiming for European qualification this season, then a lot will depend on Kudus to get the Lilywhites over the line as the campaign progresses. The main priority for Thomas Frank is to get the 25-year-old ready for the North London Derby in ten days’ time, as Spurs look to cause a major upset and put a dent on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League.
