His hold-up play, the way he takes hold of the ball in tricky situations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis one-vs-one skills, his creating opportunities for the team was top class. On top of that I think he is working extremely hard and there was a recovery run from a set piece when he was straining all the way back and he won the ball back. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is how he can help the team so much. He will make a lot of the fans excited with his offensive actions and he will also help the team defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kudus could be a key attacking weapon for Spurs<\/p>\n<p>Of course, for Tottenham Hotspur fans, they must be pleased to have a player of Kudus\u2019 calibre in their side. The winger brings flair, creativity and an X factor \u2013 something that has been lacking in the final third for Tottenham in recent seasons.<\/p>\n<p>His work rate and strength are yet another bonus for Spurs, as the winger has been very hardworking in pre-season with Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old\u2019s delivery from set-pieces also allows Tottenham to threaten from dead-ball situations. Indeed, if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/mohammed-kudus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kudus<\/a> can add end product to his game, he could very well be a standout signing this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>       Have something to tell us about this article?
