Mohammed Kudus Still Waiting for Breakthrough Goal at Tottenham Hotspur
- Mohammed Kudus is still chasing a significant achievement at Tottenham Hotspur after five matches, despite providing assists
- He showed glimpses of his quality against his former club, West Ham United, on September 13, 2025, with fan anticipation building
- Kudus’ summer switch from the Hammers to Tottenham upped the spice level of the already fierce London derby between the sides
After five matches, Mohammed Kudus is still searching for a major Tottenham Hotspur feat despite delivering flashes of brilliance in midfield.
The Ghanaian joined Spurs from West Ham United this summer, arriving as one of the Premier League’s most exciting and creative midfielders.
Tottenham fans have expressed high expectations for Kudus and the team in the 2025/2026 season, given his reputation for flair and versatility.

Snapshot of Kudus at Tottenham so far
According to Flashscore, Kudus made his Spurs debut in the UEFA Super Cup clash against Paris Saint-Germain on August 13, before featuring in Premier League clashes with Burnley, Manchester City, Bournemouth, and most recently, Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In each outing, the 24-year-old has shown his trademark energy, pressing from the front, combining well with teammates, and driving forward to create chances. According to Transfermarkt, he has two assists in five games, underlining his ability to open up defences.
Kudus yet to score first Tottenham goal
The major concern for many remains Kudus’ finishing touch. Despite his creative influence, the Ghana international has now failed to score in five consecutive matches for his new club.
In modern football, goals are a vital currency for wingers, often defining their impact more than creativity alone. This milestone would be a major boost for his confidence and reputation.
Adding to the worries, Kudus, recently hailed by Richarlison, drew blanks in Ghana’s 2026 World Cup qualifier fixtures in September, extending his goal drought for club and country.

However, the Ghanaian midfielder delivered a steady performance, showcasing glimpses of his creativity and work rate, even without a decisive moment.
Overall, Kudus contributed to Spurs’ build-up play against his former Premier League team but is still searching for his first goal of the 2025/26 season.
Despite the slow start in terms of goals, there is a belief that Kudus can be the spark for Tottenham’s attack once he ultimately breaks his scoring duck.
The highly rated Ghanaian midfielder's creativity, tireless work rate, and versatility remain invaluable assets for manager Thomas Frank’s side.
The Spurs boss has already praised the energy and work ethic Kudus has shown so far this season, highlighting his importance to the team’s overall play.
Up next for Tottenham is the first round of the 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League, with a home clash against Villarreal set for September 16, 2025.
Why Kudus can still succeed at Tottenham
YEN.com.gh previously outlined three key factors that could help Kudus thrive at Tottenham as he searches for his maiden goal with his new English team.
He needs to adjust quickly to Frank’s tactical demands, linking up consistently with his teammates and maintaining confidence despite external pressure.
One thing is certain: once the 24-year-old gets his first goal, Spurs fans believe it will open the floodgates and ignite a major push for silverware this season.
