View: Tottenham squad should be embarrassed as Kudus stat puts others to shame

Tottenham have really struggled without Mohammed Kudus over the last two months.

The Ghanaian international was forced off in the first half of Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Sunderland on 4 February after suffering a thigh injury, and has been out ever since.

The North London side haven’t won a single one of their eight Premier League games while Kudus has been in the treatment room, picking up just two points in that time.

It’s a run of form that has seen Tottenham dragged into a relegation battle, and interim manager Igor Tudor has a big challenge on his hands to turn the situation around.

Mohammed Kudus stat highlights Tottenham’s struggles

Kudus was one of the standout players for Tottenham in the opening five months of the season, providing some hope despite their dismal Premier League form under Thomas Frank.

It’s no surprise that the North London side are missing the creative winger, as they battle to retain their Premier League status.

According to StatMuse, Kudus recorded 51 successful take-ons before picking up his thigh injury at the start of January, and only Jeremy Doku has completed more in the top-flight this term (58).

Despite spending the last two months on the sidelines, Kudus is miles clear of any other Tottenham player in terms of take-ons completed, with second-placed Xavi Simons only recording 22 in the Premier League this term.

Wilson Odobert has completed 21, meanwhile, which is also the same amount that Djed Spence has to his name.

Tottenham have failed to fill Mohammed Kudus void

As evidenced by the successful take-ons stat, Tottenham don’t have anyone in their squad who has been able to fill the void of Kudus.

The 25-year-old is so impressive on the ball and is a real threat on the right-hand side when fit, managing 3.03 dribbles per game on average.

Kudus has also made a difference in front of goal, scoring twice and picking up five assists in the Premier League this season.

Even with the former West Ham man in the team, Spurs struggled to create chances in the first half of the campaign, but without Kudus, they have been appalling in attacking areas.
