Signed for £55 million, Kudus is quickly establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s standout summer acquisitions, outperforming even the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal in his early displays, according to StatMuse.
Moreover, this season, Mohammed Kudus leads all players in Europe’s top five leagues for successful take-ons, showcasing his remarkable dribbling ability, which was on full display against Brighton at the AMEX Stadium last Saturday.
His six successful dribbles and a Premier League assist for Richarlison’s goal drew praise from supporters and also from football legend Alan Shearer, who highlighted the winger’s outstanding contribution.
Ex-GPL star backs Kudus’ success at Spurs
In addition, former Ghana Premier League player Benjamin Dodji has hailed Kudus’ impact at Tottenham thus far and expressed confidence in the winger to be one of the EPL's biggest stars.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh in an exclusive interview, Dodji praised Kudus’ skill, pace, and ability to influence games, stating that the Ghanaian international has all the tools to succeed at the highest level.
“He is showing what Ghanaian players are capable of in Europe, and Spurs are lucky to have him. I have personally followed Mo since his days at Nordjaelland in Denmark to his time at Ajax and West Ham. One thing I like about him is his tough mentality.''
''If you look at how he settled in so seamlessly at Tottenham, I have no doubts he will go on to have a good spell over there.''
Meanwhile, West Ham United’s decision to sell Kudus has come under heavy criticism, especially as the 24-year-old continues to shine in North London.
Starting every game so far this season, the ex-Ajax man has earned the full trust of Spurs’ management, with manager Thomas Frank showing confidence in the Ghanaian international’s abilities.

Kudus was rested for Spurs' 3-0 EFL Cup win over Doncaster Rovers on September 24, 2025, but is likely to be fielded in the Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers on September 27, 2025.
