Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus made an electrifying start to his Tottenham career, delivering two assists in a commanding 3-0 victory over Burnley on the Premier League’s opening weekend.
The 24-year-old winger became the first Spurs player since 2017 to assist twice on his league debut, igniting excitement among fans and pundits alike.
Kudus showcased exceptional vision and creativity throughout the match, carving open Burnley’s defense repeatedly. Beyond his assists, he created three clear chances and completed two successful dribbles, demonstrating why Tottenham invested heavily in his talent this summer. His seamless integration offered immediate returns for a squad chasing Champions League qualification.
“Really nice,” Kudus described the home crowd’s reception, visibly moved by the support. “I’m happy with the whole team for the three points and clean sheet.” He emphasized his role as a provider: “As a winger, one of my responsibilities is to serve the strikers… put the ball in areas for them to score.”
Despite the standout performance, the former Ajax star remained grounded. “It’s just the beginning,” he insisted, calling the season “a long, long marathon.” His ambition aligns with Spurs’ aspirations: “I’m glad to be in an environment like this… to challenge for every trophy.”
Manager Ange Postecoglou now faces welcome selection headaches as Kudus’s instant impact signals Tottenham’s strengthened attacking depth. For Ghanaian football fans, his success marks another high-profile triumph on the global stage.
