Journalist Tom Barclay has said that Tottenham Hotspur are insistent on signing Dejan Kulusevski on a permanent transfer.
The Juventus loanee has largely been a hit at N17, lighting the Premier League up instantly upon his arrival.
While Dejan Kulusevski has not looked like the same player for much of this season, Tottenham Hotspur still have no doubts over finalising a transfer for him.
Tottenham intent on wrapping up Kulusevski transfer
Branded as ‘[Kevin] De Bruyne-esque’ by Graeme Souness via the Evening Standard and a ‘gem’ by FootTheBall, the Swedish winger’s talent is clear to see for the world.
However, a number of spells out of action due to injury coupled with a decline in form has meant Kulusevski’s stock is certainly not as booming as it was last season.
Tom Barclay, however claims that Tottenham are looking ahead to wrapping up a transfer for Dejan Kulusevski in the summer.
The fee in place to finalise the deal is £30.5 million, which will likely give Spurs the chance to trigger the option to buy in his contract.
It would have been an obligation had Ryan Mason and Co. have qualified for the Champions League, which seems improbable now.
HITC View: Cracking piece of business from Tottenham
With the dearth of quality that Tottenham possess, securing the services of Dejan Kulusevski as a priority transfer in the summer could be a vital bit of business from them.
The Spurs squad is crying out for creativity and alongside Harry Kane, he is perhaps their most decisive and more importantly, reliable creator.
In fact, at several points of the ongoing campaign, Kulusevski’s absence has made Tottenham look more out of ideas going forward than they tend to look during most matchdays.
At the end of a day, a rough patch for the 23-year-old does not change the fact that his pinpoint delivery, powerful ball-carrying ability and eye for a pass are all top-drawer.
Before Spurs even foray into the summer market to attract new players to the club, it is key that Kulusevski plays his football in N17 next season.
