According to WhoScored’s metrics, one Tottenham Hotspur man has been more consistent than any player in his position across the entirety of the Premier League in the first six games of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur made seven new signings in the summer transfer window, but the jury is still out on many of them.
Xavi Simons is yet to deliver a statement performance for Spurs, while Randal Kolo Muani is still waiting for his Premier League debut for the Lilywhites due to injury.
Joao Palhinha has been praised by Thomas Frank for his impact, but there are question marks over whether the Portuguese midfielder offers enough on the ball, particularly against sides who defend in a low block.
However, one man, who was one of the first signings to arrive through the door at Hotspur Way this summer, has been a clear hit, and the numbers back it up.
Tottenham’s Mohammed Kudus has outperformed every other Premier League winger
Mohammed Kudus has played almost every minute of every game for Tottenham in the Premier League and the Champions League so far, and he has looked the Lilywhites’ most consistent attacking threat.
The Ghanian is still waiting for his first goal in a Spurs shirt, but he has already registered four assists.
WhoScored have revealed that, according to their metrics, Kudus has been the best-performing winger across the division this season, with an average performance rating of 7.45.
Thomas Frank has revealed what makes Kudus so special
It is not hard to see why the Tottenham boss likes the former West Ham man so much, as apart from his qualities in attack, he is also supremely fit and always puts in a shift for the side.
While the winger’s one-v-one qualities are there for all to see, Frank has also praised Kudus’ strength and hold-up play.
The 25-year-old offers Tottenham an out-ball all game, often relieves the defence of pressure, and his first touch is almost always spot on.
