Kudus, who moved from Ajax to West Ham ahead of the 2023-2024 season, has grown with better performance since entering the English Premier League (EPL). He played as both a winger and an attacking midfielder and expanded his position by becoming a mainstay at West Ham. In the EPL, dribbling, speed, and activity, which are considered the top, stood out, and stood out with 14 goals and 6 assists in the first year of entering the EPL. In the previous season, the record was disappointing with five goals and four assists, but the skills were steady, so the courtship of several teams poured in.
The team that had the Qudus was Tottenham. It was a profile that Tottenham wanted to reinforce the side attack. He succeeded in recruiting Kudus by investing a large amount of money. For Tottenham, signing Kudus was an important decision. This is because there was a departure that shook Tottenham after the recruitment of Kudus. It is Son Heung-min's transfer. Son Heung-min personally broke up with the club at Tottenham's visit to Korea this summer. It was important for Kudus to fill the gap because it was Son Heung-min's departure, who was in charge of the team's attack.
Kudus has been satisfying Tottenham fans with as much performance as expected so far. Kudus was consistent even when other players showed frustrating performances. It is quickly melting into Tottenham and dominating the side. Although he lacks scoring ability, he shows the greatest contribution to the offense with one goal and four assists, and often shows his performance to break through the path of the team's offense.

With Kudus' performance, expectations are also rising. The BBC reported that Kudus quickly emerged as Tottenham's most influential player. Since joining from West Ham this summer, he has been a bright player in Tottenham's midfield. Kudus played almost every game, creating 13 chances. He also praised Jack Grealish, Bruno Fernandes, and Anton Stach for being next in line.
Expectations now turn to the PFA Team of the Year. The PFA Team of the Year is an honorary award selected by the English Professional Footballers Association (PFA). Son Heung-min was selected in the 2020-2021 season in the past. It was the first Asian player, and Tottenham had no winners in the winger position since then. Only Harry Kane won the 2022-2023 season. If Kudus is selected, he could become the first winger winner for Tottenham since Son Heung-min.
Expectations for Kudus are rising day by day. Attention is focusing on whether Kudus' performance to fill Son Heung-min's place will satisfy Tottenham fans until the end of the season and lead to the honor of the award.
