Robinson Is Full Of Praise For This Tottenham Hotspur Playmaker: Does He Have A Future At North London?

In a recent interview with Football Insider, former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson was full of praise for Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Dejan Kulusevski, who is currently playing on an 18-month loan deal from Juventus. Robinson said,

“Oh, he’s certainly hit the ground running.

“He looks a real player. He fit the system Conte plays perfectly. Coming in off the right-hand side onto his left foot, he’s such a threat. He has an ability to pick a pass.

“It looks like he is going to be a real bargain for them. I think it was an initial loan deal because he was untried at the top level. He hadn’t played a great amount of regular football before he came to Spurs.

“He has taken his chance with both hands though. When you look at [Heung-min] Son, [Harry] Kane and Lucas Moura. Kulusevski has overtaken Moura the way he is playing.”

Kulusevski’s Impressive Loan Spell At Tottenham Thus Far

The Swedish talent has made an impressive start to life at North London by producing a few eye-catching displays on the right side of Antonio Conte’s attack. Kulusevski has found the back of the net twice and grabbed three assists in nine appearances for Spurs this season across various competitions.

The Stockholm-born sensation has been a consistent performer at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium so far as he is averaging 1.7 shots, 1.6 key passes and 1.6 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Premier League. The 21-year-old has even been excellent when distributing possession in the opponent’s half after making 85.9% of his attempted passes in the top tier of English football (stats via whoscored).

Does Kulusevski Have A Future At The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?

Kulusevski is blessed with decent pace and can complete some exciting dribbles with the ball out on the wide areas. He has got the vision to cut open the opponent’s defence with a decisive pass in the attacking end of the field.

The Sweden international can also chip in by netting some important goals for his team up top. He is primarily a right-sided wide player but can even fill in as a winger on the left flank or play down the middle as an attacking midfielder or a box-to-box midfielder if required.

Kulusevski’s versatility and quality make him one of the first names in Conte‘s teamsheet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium these days. Thus, Spurs should think about signing him permanently when his current loan deal expires at the end of next season.

The Swedish sensation has got a bright future at the North London club as long as he can maintain his good form in the Premier League over the next 12 months.
