Tasked with operating on the left side of attack, the 24-year-old wasted no time making his presence felt.
From the get-go, he was a handful for Luton Town’s backline. His pace, power, and balance proved difficult to contain.
Kudus carved out a golden opportunity in the first half, only to be denied by a heroic goal-line clearance from a Luton defender.
Though he didn’t get on the scoresheet nor provide an assist this time, Kudus poured energy into every run and duel.
His determination to press, create, and battle for every inch of space did not go unnoticed.
He played 77 minutes before making way for Rio Kyeremanten, per Sofascore, a promising English midfielder with Ghanaian roots.

Social media buzzed with excitement, with many supporters heaping praise on the Black Stars talisman.
@Spursikssssson couldn’t hold back:
"Kudus is unstoppable genuinely this season, for him he will show world-class level. He’s like Leao absolutely impossible to stop him 1v1. Walks past every time. I know it’s 'league one' sides, but he will do this in prem as well."
@georgeachillea was wowed by Kudus’ physicality:

@JacoCats highlighted his quality:
"Kudus is absolutely brilliant by the way. The difference between him and our other wingers is absurd."

Interestingly, the goalless draw had been preceded by another 2-2 draw involving a different starting XI against lower-tier side Wycombe, Sky Sports noted.
Even in a game that ended without goals, Kudus showed why many believe he is destined for greatness.
It’s only pre-season, but with performances like this, the excitement around him is growing, and rightly so.
