Former Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle believes Mohammed Kudus can be a potent asset for Spurs if he keeps his head up when dribbling.
Kudus was involved in Tottenham’s 2025 UEFA Super Cup tie against PSG on Wednesday, where they surrendered a 2-0 lead before losing on penalties.
The 25-year-old was subbed off by Kudus in the 79th minute, which allowed PSG back in the game, scoring twice in the 85th and 94th minutes and then winning on penalties.
“He’s got such good talent, such quick feet, and you can see his qualities there. The added ingredient for him as a player is consistency,” Hoddle said on TNT Sports.
“A lot of my West Ham fans, and I have quite a lot, have said to me, ‘Thank you for taking him, Glenn.” So I don’t know about that. The first year, I thought he was excellent. The second year, they’re telling me he didn’t do so well. But he looks like he’s got a lot of potential, I’ve got to say.
“Sometimes, I look at dribblers and I like what they do, but can they dribble and play with their head up? That is the key for me. Can he also play with his head up? That’s the next progression for him. And I think if he does, he could be a real asset for Tottenham.”
Mohammed Kudus moved to Tottenham this summer from West Ham in a deal worth over €63.8 million.
The Ghanaian who created the most chances (3) and completed the most dribbles (2) in the match will be hoping to endear himself to the White Lilies fans.
