Former Agent Claims Mohammed Kudus Is “Not Progressing”

Mohammed Kudus is facing renewed scrutiny after comments from his former agent, Jennifer Mendelewitsch, who questioned his recent career progress.

Speaking in an interview on EN OFF, Mendelewitsch said the midfielder is no longer developing as expected. She worked with Kudus for several years before their professional relationship ended ahead of his move from West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur.

Her remarks come during a challenging period for the Ghana international. Kudus has been ruled out for the rest of the season after a setback in his recovery from a quad injury. The injury had already kept him out for about three months.

The disruption has affected his first season in North London. He has recorded three goals and six assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.

Mendelewitsch linked their split to what she described as growing external influence around the player. She pointed specifically to the role of family in decision-making.

“I understand wanting to involve family,” she said. “But when it starts to affect your career, you need to adjust.”

She added that Kudus is approaching a key stage in his career. According to her, expectations are higher at this level, and comparisons with other players are inevitable.

Her comments have added to ongoing discussion about the midfielder’s trajectory. Some observers point to injuries and adaptation challenges, while others focus on consistency and performance.

Kudus remains one of Ghana’s most prominent football exports. His move to Tottenham was seen as a major step, offering a platform to compete at a higher level.

Injuries, however, have limited his impact this season. Time away from the pitch has slowed momentum and affected rhythm.

The situation highlights how quickly narratives can shift in professional football. A strong transfer and early promise can be followed by setbacks that reshape expectations.

For Kudus, the next phase will be critical. Recovery, fitness, and consistent performances will likely determine how his career progresses from here.

While criticism has emerged, the focus now turns to how he responds once he returns to action.
