Mohammed Kudus makes £15m Tottenham player look slow during first Spurs training session

Tottenham Hotspur have made their first blockbuster signing of the summer in the shape of Mohammed Kudus.

Tottenham have splashed the cash to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, and the attacker is already in training for his new club.

It may well take Kudus some time to adjust to his new surroundings, but in a video released by Spurs on YouTube, Kudus has already showed some bright signs in training.

Kudus appeared to link up well with Yang-Min Hyeuk during this session, while one moment in particular stood out as the forward used his pace brilliantly to get past Destiny Udogie at one point.

In fact, Kudus completely outran Udogie in this moment making the man look slow in comparison.

Mohammed Kudus tears past Destiny Udogie in Tottenham training

Spurs put out a lengthy video documenting Kudus’ first training session at Tottenham after signing.

Kudus is an excellent player, and he showed his talent in this session with multiple moments of brilliance.

However, perhaps the most impressive moment in this video was one instance where Kudus used his pace to brilliantly get past Destiny Udogie, despite giving the Italian a serious headstart.

Kudus showcased his blistering pace here, and that is an exciting new dynamic that he will be adding to Tottenham’s attack from here on in.

Mohammed Kudus compared to Tottenham’s fastest players

Kudus joins Tottenham and immediately becomes one of the quickest players in this Spurs squad.

Indeed, while Tottenham have plenty of speedsters in the team, Kudus is up there with the quickest.

Tottenham’s fastest playersTop speed (km/h)
Micky van de Ven37.38
Mohammed Kudus35.3
Heung-Min Son34.5
Cristian Romero33.21
Pedro Porro33.1
Dejan Kulusevski32.1

Of course, Micky van de Ven is one of the fastest players in the world, so he is still top of the pile here, but Kudus slots in just behind the Dutchman as the second-fastest player at Spurs now.

Destiny Udogie is no slouch himself, but in this instance, Kudus seriously outpaced the Italian, leaving him for dead as he tracked back.

Kudus will be hoping to hit the ground running at Spurs, and there are some exciting signs already on show in the Ghanaian’s first training session.
