Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has heaped praise on Mohammed Kudus following his standout performance in Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Spurs fought back from two goals down to snatch a point at the American Express Stadium, with Kudus playing a key role in the spirited comeback.
Speaking after the game, Frank highlighted the Ghanaian international’s all-round contribution, particularly his tireless work off the ball.
“I think two things. One, his work ethic has been really good. It’s big for me, how hard he works in the counter-press, high pressure, defensive side of it,” Frank explained in his post-match interview.
The Tottenham boss also underlined Kudus’ technical qualities, stressing that his ability to hold up play gave the team a vital outlet throughout the contest.
“But his hold-up play, when it goes into him, it just sticks. You can’t get it off him. So he just keeps it. He doesn’t lose a 50-50 ball.”
Kudus will be looking to build on his impressive showing when Spurs host Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Cup third round before returning to Premier League duty against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
