Yesterday, Tottenham released footage of Dejan Kulusevski meeting his teammates after he completed an 18-month loan move from Juventus.
Specifically, Pierluigi Gollini was involved in a heartwarming moment when he met the Sweden international at Hotspur Way.
What’s the story?
Well, Spurs completed the signing of Kulusevski on deadline day, and they are obligated to buy him for £29m if certain conditions are met.
Even if they aren’t, the 21-year-old is in north London for a significant period of time regardless, and Gollini made sure to make him feel welcome.
As seen on Tottenham’s official website when the pair bumped into each other, the Italian said: “I told him he can come to my house so he is not alone.”
What a lovely gesture from the 26-year-old.
Gollini hasn’t exactly found life easy in north London since his season-long loan move from Atalanta, so it’s nice to see him reach out to Kulusevski.
After all, the pair know each other from their time together at Atalanta, so it makes sense for them to pair up at Tottenham.
Tottenham have a gem in Dejan Kulusevski
The emotional departure of Dele Alli hogged the Tottenham headlines on deadline day, and somewhat dwarfed Kulusevski’s arrival.
There has been little fuss about the Swede’s arrival, which we consider strange as he is a marvellous player.
Kulusevski – who has been compared to Kevin De Bruyne – was signed by Fabio Paratici for Juventus at the age of just 19, in a deal worth £29.7m.
That doesn’t just happen to any 19-year-old – Kulusevski is special.
Sadly, his career stalled in Turin as the Italian giants found themselves in disarray, enduring a turbulent time under Andrea Pirlo’s guidance.
Nevertheless, their loss is most certainly Tottenham’s gain in this instance, and we can’t wait to see what Kulusevski does in the Premier League.
