Dejan Kulusevski the unlikely hero central to Tottenham’s challenge for title

[mawspurs]

When the name of Dejan Kulusevski first arose in recruitment meetings at Tottenham, he was mentioned more as a makeweight than a Premier League heavyweight. His club, Juventus, were showing interest in Tanguy Ndombele and their Swedish winger going in the other direction was part of the proposal.

The deal was seen as a solution for all parties, with Ndombele out of favour and Kulusevski not playing under Massimiliano Allegri. When Juventus switched targets to Switzerland international Denis Zakaria, interest from Spurs in Kulusevski remained.
