Kudus Faces Renewed Criticism After UK-Ghanaian Journalist’s Blunt Premier League Assessment

Mohammed Kudus, the talented Ghanaian forward, is once again under the spotlight — but this time not for his skills on the pitch. A UK-based Ghanaian sports journalist, Rahman Osman, has publicly challenged Kudus over his lack of goal output for Tottenham, sparking a heated debate among fans and pundits across the Premier League.

Osman, a respected writer covering football from the UK, expressed frustration after Spurs’ recent defeat to Arsenal, pointing to Kudus’ limited scoring despite his electric dribbling and flair. He contrasted Kudus’s performance with that of Eberechi Eze, who completed a hat-trick for Arsenal — arguing that raw flair doesn’t hold much value without consistent end-product. 

“One day you’ll all understand why I was on Kudus to start getting goals … Dribbles this and that don’t mean nothing … Modern football is about goals.” — Rahman Osman 

The critique has ignited a broader discussion among Ghanaian and Premier League communities: Is Kudus being over-praised for his style, or is he simply going through a rough patch in front of goal?

This comes after Kudus’s move from West Ham to Tottenham this summer for around £55 million.  His flair, technical ability, and dribbling have often overshadowed his inconsistent scoring — and Osman’s bold remarks have clearly hit a nerve.

On the flip side, some supporters defend Kudus, arguing that his influence goes beyond just goals, citing his work rate, creativity, and ability to destabilise defenses.

Key Points:

Rahman Osman’s comments have pushed the narrative beyond mere performance — now it’s about expectations and impact. Kudus’s style: exciting and skillful, but critics say it’s not converting enough into tangible, match-winning contributions. For Tottenham, the pressure mounts: a big-money signing under growing scrutiny, and fans are divided on whether he’s delivering or just entertaining.

Takeaway:

Kudus’s journey in the Premier League remains a double-edged sword. While his talent is undeniable, the latest critique from a prominent Ghanaian journalist is a stark reminder that flair alone may not be enough — in modern top-flight football, it’s the end-product that often defines success.
