Tottenham idol issues emphatic Dejan Kulusevski claim as ‘next level’ footage emerges
Paul Robinson has tipped Dejan Kulusevski to score 15 goals for Tottenham next season.
The former White Hart Lane number one, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, suggested the 22-year-old is capable of emulating Harry Kane’s and Son Heung-min’s goalscoring numbers.
Kulusevski has hit the ground running for Spurs after joining on an initial loan deal from Juventus in January.
As shown by Uefa (5 June), the winger carried his club form into the Nations League and scored a sublime goal in a 2-0 win over Slovenia.
Robinson believes Kulusevski will go down as one of “the bargains of the season” when Tottenham complete a permanent deal for the player.
“Kulusevski has got better and better in the short time he has been at Spurs already,” he told Football Insider.
“It is a great bit of business when you consider the fee Spurs are paying. He is one of the bargains of the season.
“We have seen that he has an eye for goal. When you look at Son and Kane, they are consistently scoring at least 15 goals every year. I think Kulusevski can get to that level in that three.
“Spurs are going to be a real force next year. I expect Kulusevski to be even better.”
Tottenham are expected to sign Kulusevski and Cristian Romero on permanent deals for a combined £68million this summer.
Kulusevski has contributed five goals and eight assists in 20 appearances for Spurs to date.
