The summer arrival of Mohammed Kudus had Tottenham Hotspur fans buzzing. Signed from West Ham United for £55 million, the Ghanaian winger was billed as the final piece to sharpen Spurs’ attack. On opening day, he seemed to justify every pound, delivering two assists in a 3–1 win over Burnley and dazzling with his quick feet and clever link-up play.
Six Premier League games later, Kudus’ creativity is still evident, but one key number remains stubbornly at zero: goals. And that is beginning to draw attention in North London.
Tottenham’s attack, meanwhile, is thriving without a single focal point. Richarlison and Brennan Johnson have already netted twice each, while defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, plus midfielders João Palhinha, Pape Matar Sarr, and Lucas Bergvall, have all chipped in. The goals are flowing—from everywhere except the right wing where Kudus operates.
Ghanaian analyst Alhaji Mahama believes the lack of end product could soon test the 24-year-old’s place in Thomas Frank’s starting XI. “For Kudus, finding the back of the net consistently will be key to thriving at Tottenham,” Mahama told Sportsblog247.com. “West Ham let him go partly because his numbers last season didn’t stand out. At Spurs, he cannot afford a repeat if he wants to establish himself.”
Frank, blessed with in-form attacking options, may have a selection dilemma ahead of upcoming fixtures. If Kudus fails to break his duck, the manager could be tempted to rotate—especially with competition fierce on the flanks.
For now, the Ghanaian international remains a crowd favourite for his vision and drive. But as the season unfolds, turning that artistry into goals will be crucial if he is to remain indispensable in a Tottenham side rich with scorers.
