Tottenham news: Pundit hails ‘exemplary’ Dejan Kulusevski after what he’s just spotted
Tottenham look to have signed “a top player” in Dejan Kulusevski, according to Paul Robinson.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former White Hart Lane number one has claimed the 21-year-old “is a real asset” to Antonio Conte’s side.
Kulusevski has established himself at Spurs after standout performances against Everton, Manchester City and Leeds United.
Tottenham signed the Sweden international on loan from Juventus from January and the deal includes an option to buy in the summer.
Robinson has been particularly impressed by the defensive side of Kulusevski’s game.
“Kulusevski has done really well so far,” he told Football Insider‘s Dylan Childs.
“He was a bit-part player at Juve and I was worried that he was a player that had ultimately failed at the top level. I was worried Spurs was becoming a breeding ground for players that had failed at the big-big clubs but Kulusevski isn’t that. He looks to be a real asset at the moment.
“He is not afraid to put in the hard yards either. Yes, he is being praised for his offensive output but it’s the defensive side of his game that I like.
“His attitude is exemplary. He looks like he could be a top player.”
Kulusevski has contributed two goals and three assists in eight games across all competitions for Spurs.
He has been capped by Sweden 20 times.
