EXCLUSIVE! Mohammed Kudus’ injury return date revealed, but a bizarre stat might leave Spurs fans both excited and worried

Mohammed Kudus made history last summer by becoming the first player in 14 years to move directly from West Ham to Tottenham, and he quickly impressed with a strong start to life at Spurs.

However, like much of the squad, the 25-year-old saw his form dip during the winter before suffering a hamstring injury in January.

Kudus has now been sidelined for three months, and Tottenham’s sharp decline in form during that period suggests his absence has had a significant impact.

Stats highlight Kudus’ importance

Despite his lengthy spell out, the former West Ham winger still ranks among Tottenham’s top performers in several attacking categories this Premier League season.

According to FotMob, Kudus leads the team in assists with five and is second only to Richarlison in total goal contributions, with seven.

He also boasts the third-highest average rating at the club (6.99), behind only captain Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur, underlining his consistency when available.

In terms of creativity, Kudus has produced 23 chances—third most in the squad—behind Pedro Porro (37) and Xavi Simons (30).

He has also been one of Spurs’ most dangerous dribblers, averaging three successful take-ons per 90 minutes, level with Mathys Tel. Additionally, he wins possession 0.7 times per 90 minutes in the final third, with only Xavi Simons posting a higher figure.

Perhaps most strikingly, Kudus has completed 22 more dribbles than any other Tottenham player this season—despite missing months through injury—highlighting just how influential he has been.
