African star Mohammed Kudus, Tottenham and West Ham United have been charged by the Football Association following Saturday’s English Premier League match.


The Ghanaian attacking midfielder was shown a straight red card in the closing stages of the London Derby encounter after a VAR review at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Spurs winning 4-1.


Therefore, Kudus faces an automatic three-game ban with Hammers scheduled to take on Manchester United on Sunday in another Premier League encounter.


However, the FA have now announced that they have charged the 24-year-old former Ajax Amsterdam star and this means he could face an extended suspension if found guilty.


“Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Mohammed Kudus have been charged following their Premier League match on Saturday, 19 October,” a statement read.


“Tottenham Hotspur allegedly failed to ensure that their players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 82nd minute.


“West Ham United allegedly failed to ensure that their players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative and/or violent way at the same time.


“Mohammed Kudus allegedly acted in an improper manner and/or used violent conduct after the offence that he was sent off for.


“Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Mohammed Kudus have until Thursday, 24 October, to provide their responses.”


Kudus is one of West Ham’s key players having scored twice and provided one assist in 10 matches across all competitions this season.
