Seven stats from Dejan Kulusevski’s sensational start at Tottenham

After a difficult spell at Juventus, Dejan Kulusevski has hit the ground running during his first two months at Tottenham.

Kulusevski fell out of favour under current Juventus boss Max Allegri before joining Spurs on an 18-month loan deal during the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old has been a revelation at Tottenham, establishing himself as one of the first names on Antonio Conte’s team sheet.

He’s also formed an eye-catching partnership with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, helping Tottenham move back into the Champions League places.

“Honestly, we are talking about an important prospect, because he is very young, only 21-years-old and despite his young age he has good experience with the national team,” Conte told Sky Sports in March.

“Also to play with Juventus for one year and a half, you understand what it means to live with pressure, with that pressure.

“We are talking about an important prospect. Probably he could explode in the future. Also because I can see the intensity, the will and the desire to play. As everyday in training sessions, he is a type of player who has it in his mind the target to become a top player in his career and as his manager I try to help him to improve and believe.

“For sure is he an important prospect for the present and for the future. He has to continue to work in this way because he has in one month and a half improved a lot physically, tactically and also in his mentality.”
