Mohammed Kudus is hoping to play an important role for Tottenham Hotspur this season

Tottenham are currently experiencing a slight dip in form under Thomas Frank. The Lilywhites began the new campaign in brilliant fashion, winning four of their opening five matches, including an impressive victory away at Manchester City. However, the demanding fixture list has started to take its toll on the North London side, with Spurs drawing three of their last four games.

In truth, Spurs fans should still be encouraged. The players are showing steady improvement on a weekly basis and look much more solid this season. Frank has successfully implemented his system at N17, and the squad appears fully committed to his vision. The only concern is that the Danish tactician has adopted a more cautious approach, with the team often opting for pragmatism over risk.

When he arrived, the former Brentford boss made it clear that his aim was to see Tottenham competing strongly on all four fronts this season. And it is fair to say that his team have backed that statement with their performances so far. The recent comeback against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League was another reminder that Spurs are not willing to throw in the towel easily this campaign.

Tottenham have endured a brilliant start to the new Premier League campaign this season. The Lilywhites have lost just once in their opening six matches, proving that they are not an easy team to beat under Thomas Frank. Late comebacks have become a regular theme for the club in recent games, highlighting their resilience and the fact that they are not ready to roll over when the going gets tough.

Seeing how well Spurs have started their campaign, Mohammed Kudus expects the team to be fighting at the top-end of the league table. Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Kudus said,

“Finishing in the top four is a very reasonable challenge for us this season. You know, staying fit the whole season and winning a trophy. I think we play in almost all the competitions this season, Premier League, Champions League. So, winning a trophy will be a successful season for me.”

Kudus has made it clear that Spurs are determined to secure a top-four finish while competing hard on all fronts. Building on last season’s Europa League triumph, the 25-year-old hopes to end the campaign on a high by adding more silverware to the club’s cabinet.

All eyes now turn to Thomas Frank and his men as they look to rediscover their winning momentum. The challenge for Spurs will be to turn draws into victories and keep the pressure on their rivals in the league. Their next test comes at Elland Road against Leeds United—a perfect opportunity to lay down a marker and reignite their push for the top.
