On his Premier League debut, he lit up the stage with two assists as Spurs cruised to a commanding 3–0 victory over newly promoted Burnley.
The performance set the tone for what promises to be a memorable season for the 25-year-old.
Kudus' former club West Ham still reeling in pain
While Spurs fans are buzzing with excitement, the mood in East London is strikingly different.
West Ham United are still struggling to come to terms with losing one of their brightest stars, according to Sky Sports.
Kudus’ departure became even more difficult for Hammers supporters to accept after a light-hearted moment during his medical in North London.
In a short clip, he quipped, “You’ll find Spurs in my heart.”
What was meant as a playful remark struck a nerve with many who once adored him. The comment sparked anger, with some branding it a betrayal.
A section of West Ham fans even went as far as labelling him “Judus”, drawing parallels between Kudus and Judas Iscariot for his betrayal.
For many, the speed with which he sealed the transfer only deepened the sense of loss.
The fallout has stretched so far that some Hammers supporters have already vowed to make his first return to the London Stadium a hostile one.
Boos, jeers, and chants are expected to greet him when Spurs come calling on September 13 after the international break.
It is the latest reminder of how quickly admiration can turn into resentment when football loyalties are tested.
Spurs fans compose new chant for Kudus
While East London mourns, North London celebrates. Tottenham supporters have wasted no time in crafting a new anthem for their summer signing.
In a video shared widely on social media, fans were seen at a pub belting out the chant: “Kudus is on fire, and he hates it from Upton Park.”
The song not only pays tribute to the Black Stars midfielder but also delivers a cheeky dig at his former side.
It is the perfect snapshot of football culture in England, where passion, rivalry, and humour always go hand in hand.
Watch the video:
While Kudus did not get his name on the scoresheet against Manchester City, the Nima-born attacker was impressive throughout the 86 minutes he lasted on the pitch.
According to The Spurs Express, he created one chance, had three successful dribbles and won one foul.

Defensively, he put in a decent shift, winning two tackles, recovering the ball six times and boasting seven ground duels.
The win, courtesy goals from Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha, sends Tottenham provisionally to the summit of the Premier League with two wins from two games.
Kudus would hope to get off the mark when his side hosts Antoine Semenyo's Bournemouth on August 30.
How English media reacted to Kudus' performance vs Man City
In a related report, YEN.com.gh highlighted how the English media assessed Mohammed Kudus’ display against Manchester City.
Renowned outlet The Standard handed the Ghanaian an impressive rating of eight, writing:
"Gave City nightmares from long balls, with his pace and strength a constant threat. Feels almost impossible to get the ball off him, and that’s so crucial in matches like this."
