Mohammed Kudus injury 'worse than first feared' as Tottenham weigh up transfer move

Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly look to bolster their attacking department as Mohammed Kudus is now set for a spell on the sidelines.

Kudus joined Spurs in the summer for a fee of around £55m from London rivals West Ham, and has been a mainstay of Thomas Frank's squad.

The 25-year-old has scored three goals and registered five assists in all competitions for Spurs thus far, but has failed to contribute goals in his last five games.

Kudus started in Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Sunderland in the previous game, alongside Wilson Odobert, Richarlison and Mathys Tel in a four-man attack.

The Ghana international lasted for only 19 minutes, as he clutched his left knee and was replaced by Randal Kolo Muani.

According to a report from The Telegraph, the scans showed Kudus's injury is worse than feared.

The winger will definitely miss the Premier League clash against AFC Bournemouth, and could miss more games in the second half of the season.

Until now, the former Hammers attacker has missed just one match through injury so far - the 2-2 draw with Manchester United in November - but this latest setback will come as a massive blow for Spurs.

Spurs have just sold Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace for £35m, which leaves Frank with limited options.

The report claims Spurs will look to sign a new attacker in January, especially with Dejan Kulusevski also injured.

The north London club have been linked with a move for Antoine Semenyo, but the Ghana winger has chosen to move to Manchester City and will reportedly complete his medical in the next few days.
