Mohammed Kudus backed to produce plenty of special moments for Tottenham this season
The Premier League will return on Saturday after the first international break of the season. Tottenham Hotspur resume their campaign with a feisty clash against London rivals West Ham United.
Spurs raided West Ham in the summer to sign Mohammed Kudus. The versatile playmaker, who had an £85m release clause, joined the north London club for £55m instead on a six-year deal in July. It has not taken the Ghanaian international much time to hit the ground running at his new club.
Mohammed Kudus has registered two assists in three Premier League thus far ahead of his return to the Hammers on Saturday.
Dominic Solanke backs Kudus to thrive at Tottenham
Dominic Solanke has been raving about Kudus and backed him to shine at Tottenham this season. The England international believes the 25-year-old operates with “real flair”, encouraging him to produce countless special moments for the Lilywhites.
When asked who will produce the coldest moment of the season, Dominic Solanke told the Premier League’s YouTube channel:
“Kudus will produce the coldest moment of the season. He’s definitely got that flair, so I think we’ll see a lot of special moments this year.”
Kudus will be on a mission to haunt the Hammers
Kudus has already shown his flair, artistry, innovation and vision on the ball in a Tottenham shirt. The African seems to have cemented his spot on the right flank in Thomas Frank’s XI, providing a lot of pace, dynamism and creativity to the attack. He has proven to be a difficult customer to handle for the Burnley and Manchester City defenders.
The Ghana star travels to his former employers for the first time on Saturday after sealing a move to N17. The 25-year-old is expected to receive a hostile reception from the West Ham fans, and the only way he can silence them all is by assisting or scoring a goal. For a player who called the London Stadium his home for the last two years, he must be raring to haunt the Hammers and help Spurs win the London derby.
As for Solanke, the centre-forward is currently injured. The England international missed a large part of the pre-season with an ankle injury and he appears to have the same ankle issue which kept him out of the Bournemouth game before the international break. However, this time the ankle issue looks serious and he could now be set to undergo surgery.
