Given his combination of hard work and flair, it is no surprise that Tottenham Hotspur fans have already conjured a Mohammed Kudus chant within months of his club debut.
After catching the eye at Ajax, the Ghana star spent two seasons with West Ham United, before making the trip across London to join Thomas Frank's Spurs in the summer of 2025.
The Lilywhites have put together a mixed campaign so far, but Kudus has been a constant threat, and an entertaining watch for a fanbase that have endured tough times of late.
However, with news that the 25-year-old attacker is likely to be out until March, supporters will be longing for his return, and a chance to belt out his song once more.
Read on as Football Ground Guide covers all you need to know the Mohammed Kudus chant, including the lyrics, inspiration and story behind it.
Mohammed Kudus chant lyrics and tune
The Tottenham Mohammed Kudus chant is a familiar one to anyone who followed England at Euro 2024, as it is to the same tune as the Phil Foden chant that England fans belted out in Germany for the duration of the tournament.
To the tune of ‘Dancing in the Dark' by Bruce Springsteen, the lyrics are as follows:
You can't start a fire,
You can't start a fire without a spark,
Kudus is on fire,
And he hates the team from Upton Park!

The Mohammed Kudus chant is the first time that a Premier League fanbase has had a go at the Dancing in the Dark chat, and although it doesn't live up to the Foden chant, it is one that could take off if Kudus' career goes up a few gears at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It feels as if the main point of the chant is to get to the end, where the dig at West Ham comes in. The Ghanaian is now referred to as ‘Judas' by Hammers' supporters and received a frosty reception when he returned to the London Stadium as a Tottenham player for the first time in September 2025.

FGG says: Originality is dying
The trend of different sets of football fans recycling identical tunes and chants continues here, although this one perhaps isn't as bad as the majority of Tottenham fans are also England supporters.
Nothing will ever beat the original Foden version, but Spurs fans will see this one as a win as it gets under the skin of West Ham supporters.
