Andy Townsend has said on talkSPORT (8:59am, March 13, 2023) that Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski is “a terrific player”.

The former Chelsea player has said that he is a fan of the 22-year-old, who can also operate as a forward and is technically on loan at Tottenham from Juventus at the moment.

HITC View: Dejan Kulusevski a big player for Tottenham Hotspur

In our view, Dejan Kulusevski is one of the best young players in the Premier League and is a key figure at Tottenham Hotspur.

The 22-year-old joined Tottenham on loan from Juventus in January 2022 and hit the ground running.

The Sweden international was a big reason why Spurs finished in the top four of the Premier League table last season.

Kulusevski is not having the best of times at the moment and has also had injury problems, but he is a very good winger.

And he is only 22.

Kulusevski has made 16 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs so far this season.

The Tottenham no. 21 has scored two goals and given five assists in those games.

During the second half of last season, the winger scored five goals and provided eight assists in 14 Premier League starts.
