229 Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has been a solid player for Spurs since making his move in 2022.
Since arriving at Tottenham, the 23-year-old has made 81 appearances for Spurs, registering 12 goals and 18 assists.
Now, Kulusevski has been recognised for a statistic which puts him on par with Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and ahead of Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard.
Squawka has published a list of the players who have created the most open-play chances in Europe’s top seven league this season.
And the Tottenham ace is joint-top – third on the list – alongside Bayer Leverkusen prodigy Florian Wirtz and Liverpool’s Salah on 46 chances.
Quinten Timber of Feyenoord is next on 45 chances, while Arsenal’s Odegaard, Benfica’s Rafa and Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United are on 44.
It’s worth remembering that, as well as creating so many chances, Kulusevski also boasts a high defensive output, making him a seriously underrated player.
As is the case with all players, there will be the occasional mistake. Kulusevski was unfortunate to give away the free kick that Everton scored from last time out.
However, for the most part, the Sweden international has been a great player for Tottenham. And at just 23 years of age, he still has most of his career ahead of him.
Dejan Kulusevski spoke to Lucas Bergvall ahead of latter’s Tottenham move
Kulusevski even spoke to Lucas Bergvall as he was choosing between Tottenham and Barcelona, and he ended up picking Spurs.
“We talked a little before,” Bergvall said in an interview with Swedish publication Aftonbladet.
“In general, how the club works, how they work, how they train, what the days look like. It wasn’t a persuasive talk like that.
“He just said the club was great and I noticed that when I got there. I got an incredible reception. It’s a very family club, but incredible people.”
Not only is Kulusevski great on the pitch but you could argue he has also chipped in on the recruitment side too.
