The Ghana international Mohammed Kudus continues to grow in stature with Tottenham.

He is now the London club's leading assist provider in the Premier League.

Mohammed Kudus continues to showcase his talent in Tottenham's colours. The Ghana international once again stood out on Saturday as Spurs hosted Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Spurs won 2-0, with their No. 20 making a decisive contribution.

Named in the starting XI, Kudus broke the deadlock from a set piece. In the 25th minute, his perfectly delivered corner found Archie Gray at the far post. The young English midfielder made no mistake with his winning header to open the scoring for the London side.

Another assist that confirms the Ghanaian's growing importance in his team's attacking play. Tottenham's second goal, scored in the 73rd minute by Jan Paul van Hecke, sealed Roberto De Zerbi's side's victory from a pass by Mateus Fernandes.
