Mohammed Kudus' first words as he explains why Tottenham crowd will love him

Mohammed Kudus says he is going to put memories in the heads of the Tottenham supporters who will come to watch him play for the club after his move from West Ham.

Spurs signed the 24-year-old Ghana international from the Hammers on Thursday for £55million, the first transfer between the two clubs since 2011 when Scott Parker made the journey across the capital. Tottenham are set to follow up the move for Kudus with the £60million signing of England international Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest after meeting the release clause in his contract.

Kudus, who will wear the No.20 after signing a contract until 2031, is excited about playing under new head coachThomas Frank and giving the Spurs fans value for money when they pay to watch him fly towards the opposition penalty area.

"I've always wanted to play at the highest level. I know how big the club is, the history and the Champions League as well, so it’s a big moment for me," he added. "I'm finally here, I’m very happy and can't wait to start.

"The most important part of why I came here is the project and how the manager sees I can develop under him. Where he's come from and seeing the amount of talent he’s developed to become great players, it’s a big sign of why I wanted to work under him as well."

He added: "I’m a very direct winger, strong, very good in taking players on and creating chances, so there is a lot of flair in my game. I like to entertain the fans as well.

"It's about putting a memory in the heads of the fans that they have when they go back home and after the money they’ve spent to buy a ticket. The fans are really going to enjoy what I’m going to bring to the team. That's what football is about.

"Although there is also a lot of seriousness and competitiveness in the game, I still think it’s a sport I try to enjoy as much as I can and give the fans something to enjoy too. I hope fans are going to really enjoy what I’m going to bring to the team here."

Kudus is looking forward to getting back into the Champions League, having registered four goals and two assists in nine games in the competition for Ajax before his move to West Ham.

"I think the Champions League is one of the biggest stages in football. I’ve played a couple of games at Ajax so I have a bit of history and I know it’s top-level football and it requires a lot of quality and focus throughout the whole game, so I’m just hoping to use my individual ability to help the team go as far as we can," he said, before turning his attention to the Premier League.

"It takes a lot of hard work and 24/7 focus to play in a league like this. Every game requires a lot of quality and focus throughout the whole game. So I'm just here using my individual ability to help the team go as fast as we can.

"I'm very team-orientated so my personal goals lie around helping the team get as many points as we can, to be as high as we can in the Premier League and perform really well and go as far as we can in the Champions League."

This big money move to Tottenham is the next step in his relatively fledgling career and a fourth club in Europe after making the move to Denmark as a 17-year-old from Ghana's Right to Dream Academy.

"I moved to Denmark, a very big difference in culture. Played there two seasons, went to Amsterdam, two-and-a-half seasons, West Ham, then here," he said. "That's what the journey has been, using my God-given talent to have an impact on where I'm coming from and change the lives of people and my family as well."

Now Spurs supporters will be hoping Kudus can make a big impact on the north London club as well as they look to a new era under Frank.
