Former West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus has endured a difficult time of things since leaving for rivals Tottenham.
While the mood is obviously low for everyone connected to West Ham United, the former Ajax star is hardly enjoying the best of seasons either.
Kudus has scored only three goals since joining Spurs as Thomas Frank struggles to convince in the dugout.

The Ghana international has failed to justify the fee that took him from West Ham to Spurs, which many Hammers might have predicted when the deal went through.
Indeed, Kudus has struggled since leaving West Ham for Spurs and his progress has now been derailed by a fresh injury.
Mohammed Kudus suffers injury at Tottenham and will miss West Ham game
On Thursday, Frank confirmed that the 25-year-old has suffered a reasonably long-term injury.
Kudus was forced off during his side’s draw with Sunderland and will now miss next weekend’s clash between the two London rivals in north London.
He will be unavailable as Nuno Espirito Santo takes his side to Spurs on Saturday, 17th January, in what looks like a huge game for both clubs.
In his pre-match press conference before his side’s FA Cup clash with Aston Villa, Frank said: “Kudus is a bigger one, to the tendon and quad, and don’t expect him back until after the March international break.”

Kudus did not impress in his last game against West Ham
Kudus certainly invoked the ire of supporters upon leaving the club by professing his love for Spurs.
That, naturally, evoked quite the reaction when he returned to east London back in September.
It was a painful day for West Ham as Graham Potter’s side were beaten 3-0 at home.
Still, at least Kudus did not do much to impact the game. He neither scored nor assisted and, predictably, Kudus was booed by West Ham fans.
He will now not be on the pitch as West Ham, despite all the struggles this season, look to inflict misery on their rivals next weekend.
