Mohammed Kudus

Despite playing on the left wing, Kudus performed brilliant in the opening match. Praised by Jamie Redknapp, Kudus created one big chance as well as made two key passes in the match.

Against Villa, Kudus completed 23 out of 27 passes and created several big chances. However, manager Julen Lopetegui should play Kudus in his preferred central playmaker role alongside Paqueta and start Summerville at left wing.
