  Tottenham Hotspur lacked an elite dribbler until they completed the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham this week. We assess what he could bring to north London. Why are Spurs signing Kudus? The short answer is simple. They don't have much in the way of exceptional dribblers, and new manager Thomas Frank clearly wants to add one to their attack. Kudus is a genuinely elite dribbler. Only Jeremy Doku of Manchester City completed more dribbles (107) in the Premier League last season than Kudus (92).

They now have a chance to win two league games in a row, which would be the third time this season - they previously achieved this in November (against Southampton and Fulham) and in December (ag...
