Mohammed Kudus Former England defender Rio Ferdinand has weighed in on the comparisons between Mohammed Kudus and Noni Madueke following their respective transfers to North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

Speaking on his podcast alongside Joel Beya, Ferdinand questioned the notion that Kudus is significantly ahead of Madueke in terms of quality or potential. "Is Kudus massively better than Madueke?" Ferdinand asked, before offering a measured take. "I don't think potential-wise there's a massive difference.

The age is a big thing.

The amount of games Madueke has played compared to Kudus is quite different, and he hasn't had the same exposure in the Premier League, especially." Madueke, 23, joins Arsenal as part of a busy transfer window for the club, while Kudus, 25, becomes a key figure under new Spurs boss Thomas Frank.
