Tottenham's coach heaps praise on Mohammed Kudus
Ahead of Spurs' opening pre-season clash with Reading FC on July 19, the new manager didn’t hold back in praising the 24-year-old attacker.
“It is a great signing. Top work from Daniel, Vinai and Johan in getting a really good player in ahead of pre-season,” Frank said, expressing his delight at securing Kudus early in the window.
The former Brentford manager believes the Ghanaian international brings a fresh dynamic to Tottenham’s frontline.
Speaking about Kudus’ strengths, Frank highlighted his ability to cause havoc with the ball at his feet.
“He gives us unpredictability in the game. His finishing is really good. He is almost the perfect age to not just perform but take the next level,” he noted.

Kudus, who has been training with the team since completing his €55 million switch, is already blending in and looks sharp ahead of the new season.
Why Mohammed Kudus is a perfect fit for Tottenham
According to Spurs Web, Tottenham’s attack has pace and flair, but Kudus offers something extra.
Unlike Heung-min Son, who remains a danger but is now in the twilight of his career, or Brennan Johnson, whose main threat is his finishing, Kudus thrives on taking defenders on, shifting directions, and unlocking tight spaces.
Emerging talents like Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel show flashes of brilliance, but the Ghanaian's experience in the English top flight gives him a significant edge.
His close control, sudden bursts of acceleration, and willingness to take risks are assets Spurs often lacked in games where opponents sat deep.
As Spurs gear up for a fresh start under Thomas Frank, the versatile forward from Nima could well be the spark that ignites a new era at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Kudus' performance before Tottenham move
While there’s plenty of buzz surrounding his arrival, Kudus heads into the season with a point to prove.
His previous campaign at West Ham was less impactful, with just five goals and three assists recorded, according to Transfermarkt.

That output fell short of the expectations set by his breakout year.
However, both player and coach will be hoping that the past season was simply a bump in the road, and that this move to North London offers the perfect reset.
Kudus 'smokes' Udogie at training
In an earlier report, YEN.com.gh shared how Mohammed Kudus turned heads during his first training session with Tottenham Hotspur by breezing past Destiny Udogie.
Although Udogie is known for his speed, Kudus’ blistering pace stood out, placing him as the second-fastest player in the squad, just behind Micky van de Ven.
