Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has raved about his teammate Rodrigo Bentancur on Match of the Day on BBC One following his heroics against Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United on Saturday.
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham got the better of Leeds 4-3 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League.
Bentancur scored two goals for Spurs late in the game to win it for his team.
And Kulusevski was impressed, saying that the 25-year-old Uruguay international midfielder is one of the most underrated players in the world.

Kulusevski said about Bentancur: “He is a fantastic player, one of the most underrated players in the world, so I am very happy for him. Wish him all the best for the World Cup.”
Impressive
In our view, Rodrigo Bentancur is one of the best players at Tottenham Hotspur and is one of the first names on Antonio Conte’s teamsheet.
The 25-year-old has established himself in the middle of the park for Spurs and can also drive the team forward.
The former Juventus star does not always get the plaudits that he deserves, but he plays well consistently.
And that is massive.
Tottenham are doing well at the moment and will aspire to be successful this season.
Spurs are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season and are also looking to make an impact in the UEFA Champions League.
And, in our view, Bentancur will play a big role in that quest.
