View: Tottenham are destined for the Championship without their winning charm

Tottenham Hotspur have won seven Premier League games this season, and Mohammed Kudus has been involved in every single one of them.

The 25-year-old was one of Tottenham’s headline signings from this season’s summer transfer window, joining in a big-money move from West Ham.

An exciting and versatile forward, the Ghanaian international had enjoyed two excellent years at the London Stadium, and would add real star power to Spurs’ attack force.

Three goals and five assists from 26 appearances in all competitions this season was an impressive return given the Lilywhites’ struggles, and he’s been one of their best and most consistent performers in 2025-26.

Tottenham have just seven games to save their season, but a fresh injury revelation regarding him on Thursday now only serves to nudge Spurs closer to the unthinkable prospect of Championship football.

What is Tottenham’s record with and without Mohammed Kudus?

Kudus has suffered an injury setback, as it’s now been reported that he could be forced to undergo surgery that would likely end his season, and even threaten his World Cup chances too.

Indeed, he’s not kicked a ball in anger since being withdrawn in the 19th minute against Sunderland on 4 January, in what has turned out to be a real watershed moment in Spurs’ season.

Why? Well, because since that aforementioned 1-1 draw with Sunderland, Tottenham are yet to register a single Premier League win.

Spurs have lost eight and drawn three of their 11 league games since then, which is the kind of form that is not going to be good enough to keep them in the top flight.

Of the five games in which Kudus has provided at least one direct goal contribution this season, Tottenham have lost just once against Fulham on matchday 13.

So, it’s clear that with Kudus in the team, Spurs are a far more successful side than when he’s not, and thus the news that he may not play another minute for them this term is hugely significant to their survival chances.

Kudus would be one of Tottenham’s biggest relegation regrets

Of course, should Tottenham be condemned to second tier football for next season, there is sure to be a mass exodus of their most prized possessions.

Kudus is one of those, and given that he’s proven himself to be an elite player at Premier League and Eredivisie level with Ajax, it’s fair to say he wouldn’t be sticking around for the Championship.

That would be a huge shame for Spurs, as at 25 and entering his prime years, Kudus could be one of the poster boys of the Roberto De Zerbi era in N17.

Or, the Ghanaian may not get the chance to forge the legacy he surely can at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which would rob the Lilywhites faithful of a player that could’ve gone on to become a special player for them.
