Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has heaped praise on Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus, crediting the dynamic winger’s influence on the right flank as a crucial factor behind his consistent inclusion in Spurs’ starting lineup.
Kudus, who made the switch from West Ham United to Tottenham during the summer transfer window, has quickly adapted to life in North London. At just 25, the Black Stars star has become a vital component of Frank’s attacking system, impressing both with his work rate and creativity on the ball.
Ahead of Tottenham’s UEFA Champions League encounter with AS Monaco, Frank shed light on his selection choices and why Kudus continues to hold down the right-wing role despite fierce competition for attacking spots.

“Brennan is a very important player, a fantastic, important goal last season. Also, the top scorer. He started the season well, scored two good goals, so, again, probably a little bit down to how do we put the players out that make it fit. Brennan has trained very well the last couple of weeks, doing what he’s doing very well, scoring goals in training, which is important to keep showing that I’m not taking the right decision if he’s not in the team. I think Brennan can play both to the left and to the right, as we said before,” he noted.
“Of course, Mo Kudus has done very well on the right for example, and then on the left I actually think Wilson has done well. It’s just a little bit of competition. Brennan just needs to keep going, he will get his games,” Thomas Frank said.
With Tottenham already in France for Wednesday night’s Champions League fixture, Kudus is expected to retain his place in the starting XI when Spurs face AS Monaco at 7 p.m. The Ghana international will be aiming to extend his fine form and further cement his role as one of Frank’s most trusted attacking weapons.
