Mohammed Kudus has already begun to look at home in North London, and now the Ghana international has revealed the teammate who played a key role in helping him settle in quickly at Tottenham.
So far this summer window, Tottenham Hotspur’s focus has shifted from signing young players with talent and potential to players who have experience at the top level.
One such signing is former West Ham United man Mohammed Kudus, who has played at the top level in Europe, having had impressive stints with both Ajax and West Ham United before sealing his move to Tottenham.
So far, Kudus has looked on par with the rest of his Spurs teammates, and that could be as a result of already having experience featuring in the Premier League over the last two seasons.
Kevin Danso helped Mohammed Kudus settle in at Tottenham
Of course, settling into a new club is never straightforward, and now Mohammed Kudus has shed light on the player who played a key role in helping him adapt to life at Tottenham.
Speaking in an interview with football.london, Kudus explained that although everyone in the dressing room has made an effort to help him integrate, it was Kevin Danso who made the transition easier due to their shared Ghanaian roots.
“Everybody has helped me a lot. The guys try to speak to me to get the connection on and off the pitch. So far, it has been smooth,” he explained. “Kevin [Danso] is a Ghanaian so we speak our local dialect (Twi,) so it has been easier to connect.

Kudus pays tribute to Heung-min Son after Spurs exit
Mohammed Kudus also paid tribute to captain Heung-min Son, who he will not get to play alongside for much longer, as the 33-year-old has called time on his 10-year spell at Tottenham to complete a move to Major League Soccer side Los Angeles.
Kudus made it clear that he holds Son in the highest regard, speaking on the respect and admiration he has for the South Korean forward, whom he came up against during the World Cup.
“I have so much respect and admiration for him. We played against each other in the World Cup. I just love how he plays,” he said.
“He has done a lot for the club and I’m grateful to have come here and played with him. He has been a great example for us, from how he trains and carries himself, so big up to him.”
