Dare I say.......... That Kulu might be a case of serendipity for us? We were all in on Diaz. But he, his agent, and Pool played us perfectly, and away he went to Anfield. Where he is just one of five top forwards. If he had come to us, he'd have been playing where Sonny prefers to play. Though I'm sure he and Sonny are good enough to adapt. However, Kulu seems to slip in excellently with Conte's style of play, and what we need from that side of the field. From I have seen from both, and knowing that both teams play really different styles... it's clear Diaz suits Klopp's system. Not sure he'd find the going as easy if he'd come to Spurs. Would certainly have been a tougher challenge. However, Kulu seems more tailored to our requirements. Fit-to-wear, as it were.

Not saying Kulu is a better player than Diaz. Just observing that this may truly been a case of not getting what you want, but getting what you need.

My favourite Spurs player.

Doesn’t have the speed or dribbling ability of Waddle but he’s got his football brain and makes things happen.

the thing i really like him is that he puts the ball in dangerous areas, isn't always perfect but makes the defense work

Super effective and hard-working player. Love how him and Doherty are a forming a lethal partnership on the right.

Given he’s only a month older than Foden this start has been hugely promising.

Would still like him to work on his athleticism but clearly a very intelligent player with a cracking left foot. Could be a really big player for us.

Him and Bentancur were arguably our best two players tonight. Massive upgrades on Moura and Winks respectively.

What a superb player. 21 years old in a new country and league and creating chance after chance after chance.

All on top of working really hard and just being incredibly cool and composed on the ball. Well played lad.

What I like most about him is he takes the ball forward and does something with it.
Briliant signing.
And we look a different team with Bentancur instead of Winks.

2 goals and 3 assists in 4(?) starts and 6 PL games is a great start!
As a Swede myself I couldn’t be happier for him after that Juve stint.

Now has both more goals AND league assists than Lo Celso after only 6 matches (Gio played 55).

He's just such a natural fit for the league: great physicality, intelligent play and real conviction in the final third.

Top signing - well done Paratici.

What a signing. I’m a big Lucas fan, but can’t see him getting past this guy right now. Two more assists tonight and just seems to have slotted right into the team.
