How much does Mohammed Kudus earn per week?
The exact figure is not publicly disclosed, but payroll data tracked by outlets such as Spotrac and Capology suggest Kudus earns in the range of £80,000–£100,000 per week at Tottenham. That places him among the mid-tier earners at the club — well below top earners like Heung-min Son (reportedly over £200,000/week) but higher than many squad players.
| Player | Estimated weekly wage |
|---|---|
| Heung-min Son | £200,000+ |
| James Maddison | £150,000–£180,000 |
| Mohammed Kudus | £80,000–£100,000 |
| Pape Matar Sarr | £50,000–£60,000 |
The implication: Kudus’s salary is competitive but not elite, reflecting his status as a recent signing with room to grow. His contract runs five years with an optional extension, so negotiations for improved terms could come if he returns to fitness and form.

What happened to Kudus Mohammed?
Injury incident and timeline. Kudus suffered a “significant quad injury” during a Premier League match against Sunderland in January 2025, according to Tottenham Hotspur’s official injury update. He missed the next 10 matches. By early March, the club reported he had returned to team training, but a setback occurred later that month. ESPN detailed that he “had been set to return to training during the March international break before the setback.”
“Kudus suffered a significant quad injury during a Premier League fixture against Sunderland in January,” the club confirmed.
The club’s statement noted that the setback “may require further specialist review and potentially surgery.” football.london subsequently reported that his season was effectively over and that his expected return is “for next season.”
The pattern: a promising comeback derailed by a recurrence, putting his availability for Ghana’s World Cup campaign this summer in serious doubt.
How much did Spurs pay for Kudus?
According to ESPN, Tottenham completed a transfer for Kudus in July 2024 for a fee of £55 million. That figure is consistent with the club’s investment in a player who had impressed at West Ham and Ajax. By comparison, West Ham had bought him from Ajax for €44 million in 2023.
Kudus’s market value on Transfermarkt currently stands at €50 million — close to the transfer fee, suggesting the market sees the deal as fair. No release clause has been reported.
The catch: with the injury possibly requiring surgery, the value of that investment is temporarily impaired. Tottenham’s decision to sign him as a key winger now rests on his recovery timeline.
Is Mohammed Kudus married?
Kudus maintains a private personal life. There are no public records or media reports confirming a spouse or partner. His Instagram account (@kudus_mohammed) shows only football-related content. Based on his family background, it is widely assumed he is Muslim, but he has not stated his religious affiliation publicly. The marital status and religious details remain unconfirmed.
Personal life information is often sought by fans, but the lack of disclosure reflects Kudus’s deliberate boundary between professional and private spheres. For media outlets, reporting unverified details risks misinforming readers.
What this means: Kudus’s deliberate privacy is a strategic choice to keep his personal life separate from his public career.
What is Mohammed Kudus’s current injury status?
As of April 2025, Kudus is still receiving treatment at Tottenham. football.london groups him among the players currently sidelined. The club’s official update describes the injury as a “significant quad injury” sustained in January, with a setback in March that may require surgery. The Sun (via YouTube) speculated that surgery could end his season and damage his World Cup prospects, but that source is Tier 3 and should be treated with caution.
“Kudus is expected to return ‘for next season’ after the setback,” reported football.london.
What is clear: Kudus is not expected to play again before the season ends. His availability for Ghana’s 2025 World Cup will depend on whether he opts for surgery or a prolonged rehab.
Quick surgery might jeopardise his World Cup spot; extended rehab might risk further setbacks. Tottenham and Ghana have conflicting incentives, and the player’s long-term career hangs in the balance.
The coming weeks will determine whether he opts for surgery or an extended rehab programme.
Career stats and background
Kudus’s trajectory from the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana to the Premier League is a rare success story. Right to Dream Academy describes him as a graduate of their Ghana programme, which develops young talent for European clubs. He moved to FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark in 2018, then to Ajax in 2020 for a reported €9 million, where he won two Eredivisie titles and scored 27 goals in 87 appearances.
After a €44 million transfer to West Ham in 2023, he adapted quickly to the Premier League. Premier League official statistics show that across his two full seasons (2023/24 with West Ham and 2024/25 with Tottenham until his injury), he has made 84 appearances, scored 15 goals, and provided 14 assists. His most productive spell came before the quad injury, when he had started nine consecutive games for Spurs.
