HONG KONG — Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has lavished praise on Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus for his exceptional performance in the club's 1-0 pre-season victory over North London rivals Arsenal

.

Frank's comments came after the match, where he highlighted Kudus's impressive all-around display. "I think he was really good today," Frank said. "His hold-up play, the way he takes hold of the ball in tricky situations. His one-vs-one skills, his creating opportunities for the team was top class."

The former West Ham man, who joined Tottenham in a record-breaking transfer earlier this month, played a crucial role in the friendly. His performance showcased his ability to combine creative attacking play with a strong work ethic, providing a glimpse of what fans can expect in the upcoming season.

The match, which was the first-ever North London Derby to be played outside the UK, was decided by a spectacular long-range goal from Pape Matar Sarr. However, it was Kudus who consistently impressed, with his performance drawing significant attention and reinforcing his value to the squad.

Frank's admiration for the 24-year-old's display signals that Kudus is already a key figure in his plans, and his early form suggests he will be a vital part of Tottenham's campaign.
