Spurs set to keep a keen eye on Ghanian star at the World Cup

|

According to Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness) Tottenham are reportedly among the “strongest rivals” to secure the signing of Ajax star Mohammed Kudus.

Kudus who is currently at the World Cup with Ghana has attracted much interest from Europe’s elite with Spurs, Juventus, Milan and Borussia Dortmund all said to be keen on the youngster.

However, those clubs may have to move quickly for the attacker, with his valuation reportedly set to “explode” – as many people tip him to impress in Qatar.

The 22-year-old is of course no stranger to Premier League links with Everton having a £15 million bid rejected for the attacker, back in the summer.

The Toffees will be gutted at the fact they did not secure the Ajax man’s signature as he has been in outstanding form so far this season bagging 12 goal contributions in 21 appearances.

Fans may argue that “Kudus can only do it in the Dutch league” however this simply is not the case, with the forward arguably saving his best performances for the Champions League – with the Ghanian bagging 6 goal contributions in six games.

Should Spurs sign Mohammed Kudus?

YES

NO

Rangers fans will of course recognise the talents of Kudus after seeing him contribute to four goals in only two games against them.

So, would Kudus be a worthwhile signing for Spurs?

The stats (provided by FB Ref) suggest that Kudus could potentially make an impact in North London. For example, out of forwards that have played in this year’s champions league, Kudus ranks in the top 7% for dribbles completed with 2.21 per 90.

Just for context Tottenham’s own Heung-Min Son has only completed 1.0 dribble a game so far in this year’s competition.

Kudus also ranks in the 15% of forwards for non-penalty goals, scoring four goals in the group stage – which tops both Kane (1) and Son’s (2) tally.

The defensive stats also make good reading for Antonio Conte – who likes his forwards to work hard – as Kudus ranks in top 7% of forwards for interceptions.

    Yet another lonely thread. Like walking down a dusty road to no particular destination. Ya gotta wonder why yur wandering if there is no destination known. No way home. Not even Brian Jones imitating a rolling stone. And Dylan caught selling no signature at all for 600 dollars. That alone should be worth something.

    What is a conversation without an anyone to converse? Can silence speak loudly? Does it speak at all? Surely silence can be a conveyance–is that Something? Or is silence, as the absence of something, merely nothing? The what is nothingness other than something? If it can be defined, it thus becomes something. Are we thus trapped somewhere between Hegel and Satre without the help of a Simone to explain for us? Immaterial dialectic, as Lenin would have it.

    VS is become that which conveys only in its being the something of nothing. The appearance of a place that provides only silence in return to nothing that was served but the illusion of some being.

    Like Oakland in the not so gay expression–there is no there there. And if there is no there there, then where is nothing to be said?

    I’ll go mad on here if the site doesn’t become something once again. As it stands, I’m merely miffed.

    Anyway, it’s an alternative to the wasteland of Qatar and the imitation of a world cup. There seems to be no there there. Only the illusion of an armband.
