Former Ghana national team coach Chris Hughton believes Tottenham Hotspur pulled off a fantastic move by signing Mohammed Kudus during the summer transfer window.
The Spurs brought in seven players this summer, with varying degrees of impact. But Kudus has clearly been the standout in terms of adapting to his new environment.
Hughton praised the decision of the London club’s management and the way the Ghanaian midfielder has slotted into his new team:
Kudus has been named in WhoScored’s Team of the Season so far, and the £55m that Tottenham spent on him now appears to be a bargain.
Hughton was very impressed with the deal that the Lilywhites struck with their London rivals, West Ham, and the way that the Ghanaian has taken to the big stage.
When asked about the signing of Kudus, the former Ghana head coach told Flashscore: "I think it was an excellent signing.
The deal for Kudus made a lot of sense, especially from a financial perspective.
Tottenham needed a player of his profile. It's a big stadium, a big stage in England, and he's started his Tottenham career very well. He fits seamlessly into a system that favors crosses into the box".
Kudus, who had a disappointing season after a promising start at West Ham, now looks fully revitalised at Tottenham. He enjoys the freedom given by Thomas Frank, who encourages him even when he loses possession.
