Didier Drogba has named the one Tottenham player he loves watching ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League clash with Chelsea this weekend.

Arguably the standout fixture of the Premier League weekend, Chelsea travel to face Tottenham on Saturday in what promises to be an intriguing encounter.

Both sides have endured inconsistent form this season, but Thomas Frank and Enzo Maresca each have players capable of turning a game in an instant.

For Tottenham, that player is Mohammed Kudus, who has arguably been their standout performer so far this season.

Kudus has been so impressive that even rival fans – and former players – are taking notice. That includes Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.

When asked which African players in the Premier League have caught his eye, Drogba said to SportyTV: “I like Kudus.

“I used to like Jackson because I see a lot of similarities between his debut at Chelsea – unfortunately, it was a difficult time for him there.”

He also gave a big shoutout to Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah.

The former striker continued: “And of course, I can’t forget my brother Mohamed Salah. King Salah, I love you.”

For Kudus, praise from a player of Drogba’s stature is about as high as it gets.

Poll: Is Mohammed Kudus Tottenham’s player of the season so far?

“Kudus has made a really good start to his Tottenham career,” said former Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney, speaking on Match of the Day earlier this month.

“He already had a few assists but was missing that goal – and he’s got it now.”

Kudus will be looking to continue his fine form and go from strength to strength – although Drogba might not be so keen to see him shine against Chelsea this weekend.
