Mohammed Kudus is expected to be the ‘perfect fit’ under Roberto De Zerbi at Tottenham, with the winger nearing a return from injury.
Kudus is expected to return against Sunderland next week, with the winger finally close to playing for the first time since early January.
👀 Which Tottenham player will benefit the most from Roberto De Zerbi’s appointment?
Tottenham are not rushing Kudus back to avoid a recurrence of the issue, but it seems that he is almost ready to start playing again.
The 25-year-old will return to action under a new Spurs boss, and although he did impress under Thomas Frank, De Zerbi has been tipped to take him to the next level.
Mohammed Kudus tipped to flourish under Roberto De Zerbi
Mohammed Kudus has been tipped to flourish under Roberto De Zerbi at Tottenham Hotspur, according to Jack Pitt-Brooke.
The Tottenham journalist was told that the Ghanaian winger could be one of the biggest winners from De Zerbi’s appointment at Spurs.
The Italian manager has been tasked with keeping Spurs in the Premier League, and having Kudus available will considerably aid that bid.

“Kudus has obviously not played for a few months with an injury, but he’s been improving. He’s been, I don’t know exactly where he is at the moment, in terms of time scale to return,” Pitt-Brooke told The View From The Lane.
“But I think I’m right in saying that De Zerbi tried to sign him for Brighton when he was at Ajax, or at least Brighton tried to sign him when De Zerbi was there.
🤔 Can Roberto De Zerbi keep Spurs in the Premier League with this line up?
“I think, someone said to me the other day, he could actually be a perfect fit for how De Zerbi wants to play, right, because he wants the kind of strikers to sort of pull off and create space, which the wingers can kind of attack in behind. I mean Spurs have not had a lot of that recently.”
Having Kudus back will be a massive boost for the Lilywhites as they have been left very short of attacking players.
Currently, Randal Kolo Muani is the most likely candidate to start on the right, highlighting the importance of getting the winger back soon.
