Paul Merson has praised Tottenham Hotspur youngster Dejan Kulusevski in SportsKeeda.

The former Arsenal star believes that Kulusevski, who can operate as a winger, full-back, right wing-back, or attacking midfielder, has been outstanding for Tottenham so far.

The Sweden international moved to Tottenham on loan from Juventus in the January transfer window.

And Sky Sports pundit Merson believes that Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte has signed a gem in the 21-year-old.

Merson wrote in SportsKeeda: “Dejan Kulusevski has been outstanding for Tottenham. Antonio Conte knew him from the Serie A, and it was a no-brainer of a signing. He’s hit the ground running in a much harder league than the Serie A.”

Dejan Kulusevski a Tottenham Hotspur success story

In our view, Kulusevski has been superb for Tottenham and has already shown his class.

Of course, we have to note that the Swede has played only a handful of matches for Conte’s side, but the signs are very promising at the moment.

Kulusevski as made four starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham so far.

The youngster has scored two goals and provided three assists in those games.

Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.

In our opinion, Kulusevski will have a big role to play in that quest.
