- West Ham United fans are set to make the London Stadium a hell for ex-star Mohammed Kudus when Tottenham visit on Saturday
- The 24-year-old made the big move from the Hammers to sign for rivals Tottenham Hotspur this summer
- Mohammed Kudus is yet to score a goal in the 2025/26 Premier League season but has offered two assists so far
Mohammed Kudus has faced heavy criticism from West Ham supporters this summer after forcing through a £55m switch to Tottenham, with many Hammers angered by his decision to join their London rivals in a high-profile move.
The criticism is likely to intensify this weekend as the Ghanaian playmaker makes his return to the London Stadium to face his former club in a Premier League Matchday Five clash on Saturday, September 13.

West Ham fans have already made their feelings clear about Mohammed Kudus’ move to North London. A flag reading “Judus” with the Ghanaian’s face on a snake was spotted in Sunderland before the Hammers’ first game of the season against the Black Cats.
Mohammed Kudus to return to London Stadium
The former Ajax star is expected to face a hostile reception at the London Stadium on Saturday. While Declan Rice has previously been booed by sections of the crowd, Mohammed Kudus is likely to hear it from all corners of the ground.
With Thomas Frank at the helm and Champions League football on offer, Kudus’ decision to join Spurs may be understandable, but leaving West Ham for a fierce London rival almost guarantees a backlash.
Meanwhile, the former Ajax man has kicked off his Tottenham career in style. He impressed on his debut during the tough Super Cup clash with Paris Saint-Germain before turning out in Premier League matches versus Burnley, Manchester City, and Bournemouth.
In each game, the former West Ham star showcased his trademark energy, pressing high up the pitch and linking up with his new teammates, tallying two assists in four appearances, according to Transfermarkt stats.
Despite an impressive start to life at Spurs, Mohammed Kudus is yet to find the net after four appearances, with ex-coach Martin Allen and sections of the Tottenham fanbase suggesting his current form resembles his early days at West Ham — which eventually dipped sharply.

Speaking to Tottenham News, Allen pointed out that Kudus initially looked like a world-class talent at West Ham before his form dipped significantly, warning Spurs fans to manage their expectations.
To provide a proper context, the ex-Ajax man enjoyed a stellar 2023/24 campaign with the Hammers, racking up 18 goals and 10 assists in 48 appearances. However, his numbers dipped significantly last season, managing just 5 goals and 4 assists, a decline that supports Allen’s concerns.
For now, Mohammed Kudus, who featured in Ghana’s World Cup qualifier victory against Mali on Monday, will be eager to deliver a strong performance against his former club as Thomas Frank leads Tottenham to the London Stadium this weekend.
Let’s see if the Right to Dream Academy graduate can score his first goal of the 2025/26 season against his former employers.
