"Signed for just 12m in the summer, the former RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayer Leverkusen defender was given his chance when Dan Ballard picked up an injury in the second game of the season. The 27-year-old has embraced the challenge, producing a series of standout displays. In his four games, Sunderland have picked up eight points and conceded just two goals. His physicality and athleticism have been central to the team's fast start."
"Kudus has wasted no time making an impact after his 55m switch from West Ham to Tottenham. Only Jack Grealish (four) has more assists than Kudus (three) in the league this season. Having been moved around the park at West Ham by Julen Lopetegui and Graham Potter, he has been installed on the right of Thomas Frank's attack and is thriving. One thing that Kudus has carried over from his time at West Ham is his ability in one-on-one situations."
Sunderland sit fifth after six Premier League games, their best top-flight start in 70 years. New signing Mukiele, WhoScored's second-highest rated player after Erling Haaland, was signed for 12m and started following Dan Ballard's injury. The 27-year-old has produced standout displays: in four games Sunderland earned eight points and conceded two goals. Mukiele's physicality, athleticism, aggressive ball attacks, high clearances per 90, strong tackle numbers and resistance to being dribbled past have underpinned the fast start. Mohammed Kudus moved to Tottenham for 55m, has three assists, leads successful take-ons and contributes defensively with tackles per game.
