Ghana international Mohammed Kudus has made an immediate impression in the Premier League, securing a place in the Team of the Week following a dazzling debut for Tottenham Hotspur.

The 25-year-old forward was central to Spurs’ commanding 3-0 victory over Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, delivering a performance that showcased both his quality and composure on the big stage.

Kudus registered two assists, blending vision, precision, and creativity to carve open Burnley’s defence. His sharp link-up play in the final third repeatedly unsettled the visitors and offered Tottenham supporters an early glimpse of the dynamism he adds to Ange Postecoglou’s attacking unit.

Signed this summer to strengthen Spurs’ frontline, Kudus has wasted no time adapting to English football. His inclusion in the Team of the Week by respected football statistics outlet WhoScored highlights the immediate impact he has made.

The Ghanaian’s scintillating debut has already raised expectations, with both fans and pundits tipping him to develop into one of the standout performers of the 2025/26 campaign.

Spurs’ next assignment is a high-profile trip to the Etihad Stadium to face reigning champions Manchester City on Saturday, 23 August, where Kudus will look to build on his brilliant start.
