Tottenham Hotspur’s Technical Director, Johan Lange, has showered praise on Mohammed Kudus, describing him as a footballer perfectly built for the Premier League.

Kudus told he will become future Premier League star
Since his arrival, he has quickly won over fans with his energy, flair, and determination.
Once criticised for inconsistency, the Ghanaian forward, who left the capital after Ghana's win over Mali, has silenced doubters under Thomas Frank.
Watch highlights of Kudus' performance on his debut:
His dazzling dribbles, creativity, and physical presence have made him a key figure on the right side of Tottenham’s attack, adding a fresh edge to their forward play.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Lange, who has known Kudus during his early days at FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark, could not hide his admiration.
"We have known him for many, many years," Lange said, as quoted by Sky Sports.
"We knew this player had all the attributes to be a fantastic offensive player in the Premier League. We have already seen him having a great impact in the team, so let's just cross our fingers that this will continue."
The statistics support Lange’s words. Kudus has attempted more dribbles than any other player in the league this season.
He also delivered two assists in three games so far, per Transfermarkt, and currently leads Spurs in chances created, expected assists, and fouls won.

His next challenge comes against none other than his former side, West Ham United, on September 13, a clash set to stir emotions at the London Stadium.
Many Hammers supporters are still hurt by his departure. Some even went as far as burning his jersey, while others mockingly nicknamed him “Judus” in reference to Judas Iscariot.
For Kudus, however, the focus will be on proving his worth on the pitch.
With his confidence soaring and his form peaking, the stage is set for an intense reunion in East London, where he will look to let his football speak louder than the noise from the stands.
