Dejan Kulusevski: Tottenham to complete ‘bargain’ signing after £25m update – Agbonlahor
Gabby Agbonlahor has insisted making Dejan Kulusevski’s move permanent for just £25million would be a bargain for Tottenham.
The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed the 21-year-old – alongside fellow loan signing Rodrigo Bentancur – has been “amazing” since arriving in January.
According to The Guardian (22 March), Tottenham paid €10million (£8.3million) to take Kulusevski on an 18-month loan from Juventus in the winter window.
The report claims the London side have the option to make the move permanent this summer for €30million (£25million).
Kulusevski has contributed two goals and four assists in nine Premier League appearances.
When asked if that £25million fee could prove to be a bargain for Spurs, he told Football Insider‘s Ewan Kingsbury: “100%.
“He’s such a talented player. He suits that Spurs attack perfectly.
“Son on the left, Kane through the middle, Kulusevski on the right cutting in. They’ve been outstanding since he’s come in.
“He looks so hungry to succeed. He and Bentancur have been amazing signings for Spurs.”
Bentancur has been impressive in his nine appearances since signing a four-year deal with Spurs in January.
As quoted by Goal (26 March), Spurs director Fabio Paratici hailed the Uruguayan and Kulusevski for their “really, really quick” adaptation to English football.
The former Parma winger has made 22 appearances for his native Sweden since making his full international debut in 2019.
Tottenham sit fifth in the Premier League, three points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal.
