- A rising Tottenham star from Ghana has already matched the numbers of two high-profile Premier League names
- His creativity and quick thinking turned a tough away game on its head, earning him a place alongside some of the league’s best

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-2 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, 20 September 2025, will be remembered for more than just the late drama.
Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus continued his bright start to life in North London, registering his third Premier League assist of the 2025/26 season.

According to Flashscore, Kudus set up Richarlison for Spurs’ opener just before half-time, showing composure and sharp decision-making in a match where Thomas Frank’s men had dominated for long spells.
The Ghanaian’s contribution kept Tottenham in the game but also etched his name further into Premier League history.
Kudus matches Raphinha and Enzo Fernandez
According to the Premier League, the assist against Brighton means Kudus now boasts 12 career assists across 70 matches in the Premier League, a tally that places him in esteemed company.
Barcelona winger and current Ballon d’Or contender Raphinha also managed 12 assists during his spell at Leeds United, while Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has reached the same figure in his time at Stamford Bridge.
By drawing level with two highly rated players, Kudus has underscored his growth as a creative force, though he is yet to find the back of the net after seven games this term.
His ability to combine flair with productivity continues to silence early critics who questioned whether he could adapt at Spurs after signing from West Ham United.
Meanwhile, the draw itself was a rollercoaster for Tottenham. Brighton, buoyed by Yankuba Minteh’s impressive record of never losing when on the scoresheet, looked set to extend their streak after going two goals ahead.

Yasin Ayari’s stunning long-range strike, which deceived goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, seemed to put the game beyond Spurs’ reach.
However, Kudus’ sharp play in the build-up helped Richarlison halve the deficit before the break, shifting momentum.
Tottenham pushed hard in the second half, and eventually found the equaliser through Wilson Odobert, denying Brighton the chance to record a home win.
Mohammed Kudus Premier League assists tally
With three assists already this campaign, Mohammed Kudus is becoming central to Spurs’ attacking output, striking the right balance between creativity and direct play, offering Frank another something new down the right wing.
Despite the fact that the Nima-born footballer has yet to score a goal for Spurs, matching Raphinha and Enzo’s all-time Premier League assist tally adds an extra layer to his reputation and indicates the heights he is capable of reaching.
