EXCLUSIVE: Watford legend Troy Deeney confident Mohammed Kudus will succeed at Spurs

The Ghana international is set to join the 2025 Europa League winners for a fee around £55m following an agreement between Spurs and West Ham United.

Kudus has already agreed personal terms with Spurs and will undergo a medical on Thursday to complete his move to North London.

Deeney, a legend of English football, having made over 600 appearances in his career, believes Kudus has the qualities to excel at Spurs and even put himself in a position for another big move.

“First of, I think it is a good price for West Ham and for Spurs. I think that is a good range for wingers. With his pace and power, he has the ability to kick on and go again and I think if he has one good season at Spurs, he goes again to a massive Champions League team,” he told GhanaSoccernet in an exclusive interview in New Jersey, USA.

Kudus moved to West Ham in the summer of 2023 and immediately became a fan favourite, enjoying an outstanding first season, where he contributed 20 goals.

However, his numbers dropped in the last campaign but Deeney feels if he can remain focused, he will be a great addition for Spurs, insisting football comes easy for the 24-year-old.

“He has all the potential, for me, it is about whether he can focus the brain with his feet. It looks like football is a bit too easy for him,” he added.

The former Ajax star is expected to seal the move to North London in the coming days as he begins a new chapter in his career in England
