Mohammed Kudus has made a clear statement on what success will look like for him in his first season at Tottenham Hotspur.
Not all of Tottenham’s summer signings have hit the ground running. Xavi Simons is yet to deliver a statement performance for Spurs, while the supporters are yet to get a good glimpse of Randal Kolo Munai, who has been out injured over recent weeks.
However, one man who has made an instant impact and quickly become a pillar of the Spurs side under Thomas Frank is Mohammed Kudus.
Kudus is near the top for the most successful dribbles completed by any player across Europe, and he already has four assists to his name so far.
Mohammed Kudus reveals what he wants to achieve this season at Tottenham
Another impressive thing about the winger has been his fitness levels, with the 25-year-old playing almost every minute of Tottenham’s Premier League campaign so far.
The only two games which he has not started are the Carabao Cup clash against Doncaster and Tuesday’s 2-2 draw against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.
The winger is keen to remain fit throughout the season and has set his sights on achieving something big.
When asked what his ambitions for the season are, Kudus said (via Sports Illustrated): “Staying fit the whole season, winning a trophy… that would be a successful season for me.”
Kudus’ performances have gone under the radar
The former West Ham man is perhaps not getting the credit he deserves for how good he has been so far this season.
According to Whoscored’s metrics, Kudus has been the best-performing winger across the whole Premier League this season.
While the winger’s one-v-one qualities are there for all to see, Thomas Frank has waxed lyrical about Kudus’ strength and hold-up play, which is not an attribute that one usually sees in wide players.
