Roy Keane is already ‘not convinced’ by one of Tottenham’s newest signings

1 day ago 4

Roy Keane has delivered a blunt verdict on one of Tottenham’s big summer signings, admitting that he is far from convinced despite Spurs making a strong start to the season.

Tottenham Hotspur went into the summer knowing that they needed to respond to their struggles from last season, where they finished a disappointing 17th in the Premier League, and the board have now backed new manager Thomas Frank in the transfer market.

It proved to be an eventful window, with Tottenham completing six new signings, among them Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus, Randal Kolo Muani and Joao Palhinha, as the club attempted to strengthen across the pitch.

There is now hope amongst the fanbase that these arrivals can provide the necessary spark to guide Spurs back into contention, with Frank aiming to build a side capable of competing both domestically and in Europe.

Roy Keane questions Tottenham signing Mohammed Kudus

With the transfer window now shut in England, Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher took to Sky Sports to rate some of the newest signings from Premier League clubs.

Speaking about Tottenham’s Kudus, the former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane gave his assessment of the Ghana international, and his verdict was far from glowing.

Keane explained that he was yet to be sold on Kudus, remarking: “Not convinced, I have to say. Not convinced. But it would be nice if he surprised me.”

Mohammed Kudus shows flashes but must deliver consistency

There have already been glimpses of what Kudus can bring to Tottenham, most notably on the opening day when he grabbed two assists in the 3-0 win over Burnley, helping Frank’s side convincingly start the campaign.

Since then, however, the Ghanaian has yet to make a decisive impact in the final third, with no goals or assists in his last two outings, even though he has contributed in other areas through his work rate, strength on the ball and ability to carry play forward.

Kudus remains a player with clear potential, and Spurs supporters will be eager to see more end product in the coming weeks, particularly as Frank looks to balance the demands of competing in the Premier League with the challenge of European football.
