Tottenham Hotspur have struck gold multiple times in the transfer market over the past few years.

After being acquired for comparatively little money, players like Guglielmo Vicario, Pape Matar Sarr, and Destiny Udogie have all performed admirably for Spurs.

Among those who have performed very well at Tottenham after leaving Juventus in 2022 is Dejan Kulusevski.

At Juventus, the 23-year-old was a bit of a surplus, so they were eager to work out a deal with Spurs.

Kulusevski’s reputation quickly recovered when he was at Tottenham. He scored and provided an assist in Spurs’ thrilling 3-2 victory over Manchester City on his first start as a player.

The Swedish international scored five goals and provided eight assists in 18 Premier League games for Tottenham during his rookie campaign.

Dejan Kulusevski is Ange Postecoglou’s ‘ideal winger’ at Tottenham

Spurs chose to sign Kulusevski permanently for an estimated £25 million, even though he didn’t have the best season (he wasn’t the only one).

He is now a regular starter for Spurs under Ange Postecoglou, and things are better for both of them. This season, he has made 26 appearances, six goals, and two assists.

The Guardian stated in December that Kulusevski is Postecoglou’s ideal winger because of his efforts both on and off the ball.

In fact, the Spurs player was recently valued at €100.4 million, or approximately £86 million, by the CIES Football Observatory.

According to the statistics outlet, this now places Kulusevski ahead of players like Rasmus Hojlund, Harry Kane, and Bruno Fernandes.

Kulusevski seems to be doing well at Tottenham, and it will be interesting to watch what the “top player” at N17 gets up to in the future.
