Mohammed Kudus has reached an impressive milestone in the Premier League following a flying start to life at Tottenham HotspurThe 25-year-old now shares this enviable record with a fellow player who recently received ‘blessings’ from Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu IIKudus, however, will be eager to break his goal-scoring drought when Spurs take on Bodo Glimt in the Champions League

Mohammed Kudus is quickly proving why he is being hailed as one of the Premier League’s most exciting attackers.

The Ghanaian playmaker may still be waiting for his first Tottenham Hotspur goal, but his influence on the pitch has already made him a standout performer for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Since making his competitive debut in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain, Kudus has been the heartbeat of Spurs’ attack.

His flair, vision, energy, and unpredictability have brought a new dimension to their forward play, making him the most dangerous outlet in the team.

Against Wolves on Saturday, September 27, the Nima-born star thought he had broken his duck when he buried a first-half effort, only for the assistant referee to raise the flag for offside.

While the wait for that first goal continues, his overall contribution has already justified Tottenham’s £55 million investment.

The 25-year-old has consistently shown his ability to decide matches even without scoring.

At West Ham last season, considered by many as his toughest campaign, he still managed five goals and four assists after registering 18 strikes across all competitions in his debut year in England, per Transfermarkt.

Kudus matches Doku in rare Premier League feat

This term, his numbers place him among the league’s best dribblers and creators.

Data from Squawka highlights that Kudus and Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku are the only players to have completed more than 10 successful take-ons while also creating over 10 chances.

Check out the statistical comparison between Kudus and Doku:

Both have also delivered three assists, underlining their reputation as two of the most electrifying talents in the division.

Kudus now shifts focus to the UEFA Champions League, with Tottenham travelling to Norway to face Bodo Glimt, where he will once again be expected to influence proceedings.

Meanwhile, Doku, who received ‘blessings’ from Otumfuo on his visit to the Manhyia Palace earlier this year, will look to continue his red-hot form when City host AS Monaco on Wednesday, October 1, in the Champions League.

Ex-Spurs scout backs Kudus as a bargain

His performances in eight outings have convinced former Tottenham scout Bryan King that the Black Stars attacker represents one of the smartest deals the club has pulled off in years.

“When you’re talking about footballers and fees today, an average player is going to cost you £20m,” King told Tottenham News.

“When you find someone who’s got a little bit of something special, and Kudus has got pace, he can play either wing, and his delivery is always dangerous.

“For that kind of player, you’d be looking to pay £65m or £70m for him. If Kudus continues like he is, then I think he’s going to be a good bit of business for Tottenham.

“The deal will certainly have come from Frank. With him being Danish, he’d have known about him when he was at Nordsjaelland. I think it’s already turning out to be one of the best deals that Tottenham have done in the last two or three years.”

Kudus receives praise from Spurs Technical Director

In an earlier report, YEN.com.gh highlighted how Tottenham Hotspur’s Technical Director, Johan Lange, heaped praise on Mohammed Kudus, describing him as a player tailor-made for the Premier League.

Lange, who first crossed paths with Kudus during his formative years at FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark, expressed deep admiration for the Ghanaian’s growth and impact.
