Tottenham expert issues ‘desperate’ Dejan Kulusevski verdict as ‘huge’ prediction made
Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevsi is “desperate” to impress in the second half of the season after fully recovering from his latest injury.
That is according to Spurs expert John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Kulusevski scored as Tottenham beat Motherwell 4-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly last weekend.
The 22-year-old’s progress has been hampered by injuries this season, meaning he has only been able to start seven games in all competitions.
However, after regaining his full fitness during the World Cup break, Wenham has big expectations for the winger in the second half of the season.
“Look, before the season started I said I thought Kulusevski would score 15 league goals,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“That is going to be very hard to do now because of all the injuries he has had and how many games he has missed.
“That being said, when he came on against Leeds he looked so dangerous and he is a big part of why we won that game.
“My worry is if he gets injured again and if this becomes a regular thing. I hope that during the break, because Sweden didn’t go to the World up, he is in the best physical condition and there is no chance of the injury coming back.
“I think that will be the case but when a player is out for so long you are always better off being on the cautious side.
“So if he can stay fit then I’m sure Kulusevski can have a huge second half of the season.
“He will want to prove a point after not being able to do too much in the first period of the campaign.
“He’s desperate to show how good he is.”
