As he accelerates his recuperation from his hamstring injury, Mohammed Kudus has asked Tottenham Hotspur for permission to do something out of the ordinary.

After an outstanding start to his Spurs career, Kudus sustained an injury during Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland at the beginning of the year and hasn’t played a game since.

The Ghanaian’s speed and directness on the flanks have been sorely missed by Spurs, and it was first thought that Kudus wouldn’t return until April.

The 25-year-old is now among Tottenham’s double-digit absentees, and since the Lilywhites fired Thomas Frank, we now know that he will have a new management when he rejoins the training field.

Tottenham’s Mohammed Kudus is responding well to treatment after a specialist trip

According to The Sun, the former West Ham player has visited a specialist in Amsterdam in an attempt to accelerate his recovery.

It turns out that Kudus recovered from a knee injury he suffered while playing for Ajax in 2020 with the assistance of the same specialist.

Since then, the Tottenham player and the medic have stayed close, and now that the North London club has given him permission, he has chosen to receive therapy from him once more.

Mohammed Kudus, a Ghanaian international, is determined to win a title with Tottenham Hotspur of the Premier League.

In the summer, the Black Stars midfielder Mohammed Kudus moved from West Ham United to Tottenham, where he has since been a vital part of the squad.

With six vital assists for Tottenham in 14 Premier League games, the Ghanaian international currently leads the league in assists.

But during his time at Tottenham, the highly regarded Ghanaian midfielder has reaffirmed his ambition to win a championship.

Before Tottenham’s Champions League match against Slavia Prague, he declared, “I have to win a trophy with Tottenham.”

Kudus is expected to play a huge role for his outfit when they take on the Czech Republic outfit in matchday six of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Since joining Tottenham, the enterprising midfielder has made 20 appearances across competitions, scoring two goals and delivering six assists across the period.

West Ham United has given Mohammed Kudus back his wooden elephant seat, enabling the Ghanaian forward to continue his customary celebration after breaking his scoring drought for Tottenham Hotspur.

After a £55 million summer transfer, the 25-year-old made his first appearance at the London Stadium on Saturday, but Spurs won 3-0 and he left empty-handed in front of goal.

West Ham United hand back Mohammed Kudus’ iconic wooden elephant stool

Throughout the afternoon, Kudus faced a cold greeting from the home support. The winger, who joined the Hammers from Ajax in 2023 and scored 19 goals in 80 games, was jeered at every turn.

A ball boy in the Bobby Moore Stand once refused to give him the match ball before he took a corner kick, illustrating the tension.

Kudus played a significant role in Spurs’ assault even if he missed a late opportunity to score his first goal.

He took the opportunity to thank the non-playing West Ham employees near the family enclosure area after the final whistle, and he was given back his cherished stool.

Since Kudus revealed the wooden seat in a 1-1 tie with Brighton in 2023, it has come to represent his identity.

Like other players, he would first sit on the perimeter boards, but he quickly moved to the stool that the stewards and ball boys had borrowed.

“It’s a special stool, a stool from Ghana,” Kudus told West Ham’s media team. “Where I come from, the chiefs and the kings sit on stools … I thought it would be nice to share a little bit of life where I am from.”
