SportBILD via Sport Witness had earlier reported that Tottenham Hotspur are very interested in signing Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt in the upcoming summer transfer window. Ex-Spurs scout Bryan King, in his exclusive report for Tottenham Hotspur News, has reported that Dejan Kulusevski is set to play a big role in bringing his fellow Swede to the North London club.
Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Hugo Larsson
Spurs are currently 12th in the points table with 30 points in 25 matches. They have won nine matches, drawn three, and lost 13 in the league so far this season. Most of the players have underperformed for Spurs this season except Kulusevski, and hence Ange Postecoglou wants to strengthen his team in the next transfer window.
Kulusevski has scored 6 goals in 25 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. Overall, his goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.26. Moreover, Kulusevski’s total G/A (goals + assists) is 10 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.44 per 90 minutes. His non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.27. He is carrying out the task of convincing Larsson for a move to Tottenham.
Why is it a good move?
Larsson has impressed with his all-around capabilities. His composure on the ball, especially under pressure, is remarkable for his age. Larsson’s passing range is vast, enabling him to start plays from deep or deliver killer balls in the final third. He’s physically imposing with good stamina, allowing him to cover ground effectively. His defensive contributions are noteworthy, with solid tackling and interception skills. Therefore, he will definitely be a good signing for the club.
Larsson has assisted 1 goal in 3 matches so far in the DFB Pokal 2024/2025 season. Looking into his passing aspect of the game, Larsson passes the ball roughly 44.19 times during a game with a pass completion rate of 88.99%. He also plays 0.81 key passes each game. Overall, Larsson’s xA (expected assists) output is 0.36 per 90 minutes. Larsson has appeared in 3 matches this season in the DFB Pokal, playing a total of 222 minutes. He has not received the game time that he would have wanted at Frankfurt.
However, the 20-year-old is wanted by multiple clubs. So, there will definitely be competition for his services. Spurs will hope that Kulusevski and Bergvall can go on to convince their fellow Sede to move to Tottenham.
