Fans doesn’t think West Ham star Mohammed Kudus should have been sent off against Tottenham on Saturday (19 October).
The ex-Spurs scout believes the melee between the Spurs and West Ham players was “ridiculous”.
Kudus was shown a red card after striking Micky van de Ven and Pape Matar Sarr in the face as Spurs beat West Ham 4-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League, a match which left Postecoglou with a “problem” despite the win.
However, King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – wasn’t happy with van de Ven’s reaction.
“Flat hands in people’s faces were causing players to go down,” King said.
“It was more of a push than a punch. I don’t think anything during that incident warranted a sending-off. However, once the referee went over to the screen, you sensed a red card would be produced.
“The whole thing was just an overplayed, silly situation. It was ridiculous, and after that kind of contact caused Van de Ven to go down, I was very disappointed with him.”

This comment has been the best comment I have seen this week
There’s is true connection between the two team and the players
Kudus’ strike to van de Ven and Sarr’s faces might not have had much force behind it. However, you still can’t raise your hand to another player’s face on a football pitch.
Therefore, whether van de Ven made a meal of it or not is largely irrelevant. It could quite easily be argued that he did, with Sarr not going down in the same way as his teammate, despite too being hit in the face.
However, this is modern football and these things happen. As a result, West Ham are unlikely to win any appeal against the decision.
From Spurs’ point of view, they will move on from the situation after a much-needed victory. Attention will now turn toward AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday (25 October), with two youth players being backed to start.
Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro is drawing considerable interest from top European clubs, leading Spurs to set a significant £80 million valuation on the player, according to
Both Manchester City and Real Madrid have emerged as potential suitors for the Spanish defender, who has solidified himself as one of the Premier League’s best in his position since arriving at the club.
Manchester City have identified Pedro Porro as a potential replacement for Kyle Walker
Porro’s performances have made him a key figure at Tottenham, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by Manchester City.
The English champions are actively seeking a long-term replacement for veteran right-back Kyle Walker, who is set to turn 35 at the end of the ongoing season.
Interestingly, this isn’t Porro’s first link to Manchester City. The Spanish full-back initially signed for City in 2019 but didn’t make any appearances for the club, instead spending time on loan with various clubs, including Real Valladolid and Sporting CP.
During his time at Sporting, Porro’s career took off, as he played a crucial role in helping the team win the Primeira Liga and Taça da Liga.
His standout performances led Tottenham to secure him on loan in January 2023 before making the move permanent in the summer for a reported €40 million fee.
Real Madrid also interested in Pedro Porro
Real Madrid are also keen on the 25-year-old as they search for a replacement for Dani Carvajal, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
Porro’s prior experience in La Liga, with Girona and Real Valladolid, makes him an appealing option for Los Blancos.
In fact, it was recently reported that Spurs have already started hunting for replacements for Porro as they expect the their star defender to leave in the upcoming transfer windows.
The player himself has not ruled out a future move to Madrid, after recently expressing his readiness to play for the Spanish giants.
Porro remains a consistent force at Spurs, contributing three goals and seven assists in 35 appearances last season.
With his contract running until 2028, Tottenham are standing firm on their £80 million valuation, signalling that any club interested in signing the right-back will need to meet this substantial asking price.
