Tottenham Hotspur only appointed Fabio Paratici last weekend, but they have already been linked with a host of Serie A stars – including Dejan Kulusevski.

Paratici has left Juventus after more than 10 years at the club, becoming Tottenham’s new managing director of football.

Paratici has a great knowledge of the Italian market, and we’ve already seen the likes of Domenico Berardi and Stefan de Vrij linked with Tottenham.

Tottenham’s interest in Kulusevski

Calciomercato reported last week that Paratici wants to bring Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski to Tottenham having signed him for Juve last summer.

Kulusevski mostly plays on the right flank, cutting infield onto his left foot to create chances having been likened to Kevin De Bruyne.

Last season, Kulusevski hit seven goals and seven assists for Juve in all competitions, showing real promise for the Serie A giants.

What has Eriksson said about Kulusevski?

Swedish legend Sven-Goran Eriksson has shared his thoughts on Kulusevski, speaking to Tuttomercatoweb about the 21-year-old wide man.

Eriksson has named Kulusevski as a top talent in Swedish football alongside Alexander Isak, believing that he has ‘great potential’ and will be key for Juventus moving forward despite those links to Tottenham.

“Dejan is a flexible player with great potential,” said Eriksson. “Juventus have secured a really interesting player, key for the future,” he added.
