Owen Hargreaves has claimed that ‘everything looks easy’ for Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski, after another impressive display in the Premier League.

Antonio Conte’s side beat Southampton 4-1 on Saturday to open their accounts for the new season and Hargreaves spoke about how ‘calm’ Kulusevski looks in front of goal.

Last season, the 22-year-old scored an impressive five goals and supplied eight assists in the Premier League – that’s 13 goal contributions from the January capture, which is more than what Chelsea’s £100 million man Romelu Lukaku produced, as well as Manchester City’s record-breaking transfer, Jack Grealish.

And now, in next to no time, Kulusevski is off the mark again and probably becoming close to being a popular Fantasy football pick because he is picking up points galore.

It needs to be remembered that he is actually still a Juventus player because his loan is still on-going, but his deal will become permanent at the end of the spell.

Nonetheless, former England midfielder Hargreaves spoke highly about the player and how much quality he is showing in front of goal, as he told Premier League Productions.

“He’s got so much composure,” said Hargreaves. “He always looks calm in those positions. Everything looks easy. He takes a good first touch, and then bang into the back of the net.

“He makes the game look easy. He’s not super explosive and he’s not super powerful. But he’s a beautiful football player.

“To go, Kane, Son and Kulusevski, and then add Richarlison into the mix is scary.”

ANOTHER TOP PURCHASE FROM TOTTENHAM

Kulusevski hasn’t even been in Tottenham colours for 12 months and he is already proving to be a top, top capture from the club.

At the rate he is going at, Spurs will have a fixed front three because, for many, many years, Kane and Son have always done the business in the final third.

Whilst there have been glimpses from one or two players like a Lucas Moura, not many have been able to talk the talk on such a consistent basis.

Now, for Kulusevski, there is still a long way to go, but, ahead of Tottenham’s all-important trip to Chelsea on Sunday, he is keeping the club’s record transfer out of the XI.
