Ghana's Mohammed Kudus is driving Tottenham's perfect start, with an assist against Coventry and a gritty showing in the Stamford Bridge derby win.
Mohammed Kudus is fast becoming the heartbeat of Tottenham's attack. The Ghana international has been central to back-to-back wins, igniting Spurs with the kind of fearless, front-foot football that African fans have admired since his Ajax days.
It started with a 3-1 victory over Coventry City, where Kudus set up a goal and kept pushing forward with the ball at his feet, giving the opposition defence little rest. He then carried that momentum to Stamford Bridge, where Tottenham claimed a 2-0 win in the London derby. Against Chelsea he was just as influential, adding bite and work rate at both ends of the pitch.
His impact has been even more valuable with Savinho sidelined through injury. Kudus gives Spurs a ready-made outlet who can stretch defences, take on his man and create chances from nothing. The former Ajax and West Ham winger is known for wriggling out of tight spaces and driving into dangerous areas, and those traits are paying off in north London.
Next up is Crystal Palace on Saturday, and Kudus will have another chance to shape the game as Tottenham look to stretch their winning start. If he keeps playing like this, the Black Stars star will keep defenders guessing and Spurs fans dreaming.
