    <p>Tottenham Hotspur has made one of the most thrilling signings this summer. On Thursday, the club announced the acquisition of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United. According to <em>The Athletic</em>, Spurs secured Kudus for approximately €63.8 million, and he has signed a six-year contract with the club.</p>

    <p>The Ghanaian international has displayed moments of brilliance in the Premier League, showcasing his flair, dribbling, and goal-scoring ability. However, he had inconsistencies last season, with questions raised about his attitude occasionally. At just 24 years old, Kudus possesses the potential to become a vital player in Thomas Frank's setup. As Spurs work towards reshaping the squad for a Champions League comeback, Kudus could provide the creative spark needed to unlock defenses and excite fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. <em>Transfermarkt</em> examines Kudus' potential impact on the North London team.</p>

    <h2>What can Mohamed Kudus bring to Tottenham?</h2>

    <p>Kudus joined West Ham for €43 million in 2023 after a successful three-year stint at Ajax, where he scored 27 goals and assisted 12 times in 87 appearances. His dribbling abilities stood out during his time in the Netherlands, a skill that has translated to his performances in England. Last season, he managed five goals and three assists in 32 Premier League matches, a disappointing season for both him and West Ham, who finished 14th. Nonetheless, his capability to take on defenders is what makes him a standout player.</p>

    <p>In his debut Premier League season (2023/24), no player outperformed his 117 dribbles; the closest competitor was Manchester City's Jérémy Doku with 87, according to <em>Statmuse</em>. Even in a subpar season, he was tied for the most dribbles with Doku, with both players recording 90. This talent is what Spurs are banking on. If the reported fee of €63.8 million is accurate, he will be Tottenham's second-most expensive signing ever, trailing only behind the €64.3 million paid for Dominic Solanke last summer. No pressure.</p>
