Kudus receives his legacy number at Tottenham Hotspur
Ghana ace Mohammed Kudus has been given his Legacy Number at Tottenham Hotspur after making his first competitive appearance for the club.
The 25-year-old made his official debut in the UEFA Super Cup against European champions Paris Saint Germain on Wednesday night in Italy.
Kudus became the 896th player to make a competitive appearance for the North London outfit, producing an incredible display despite Spurs’ last-minute collapse.
The former Ajax star lasted 79 minutes before he was replaced by Mathys Tel as Spurs threw away a two-goal lead in the final five minutes to force the match to penalties.
Tel and Micky van de Ven, who scored the opener for Spurs, missed from the spot as the French giants won their sixth trophy of the year.
Meanwhile, Kudus picked some positives from the game and he is already looking forward to his Premier League debut for Spurs against Burnley on the opening weekend of the 2025/26 campaign.
“It is disappointing to lose the game in the end. This is a big lesson to stay focus for the whole 90 minutes but I am really proud of the team for their work ethic, their energy because I think we had them for most part of the game, just the last part we need to keep full concentration. We take this as a lesson. We have a game at the weekend and we have full focus on that,” he said after the game.
Kudus joined Tottenham in the summer transfer window for a fee of £55.
