Neat footwork paves the way for Kulusevski

Since moving into a more central role with Tottenham, it’s safe to say Dejan Kulusevski has been on fire. The Swedish star’s creative juices are clearly flowing, and he’s now added another assist to his name for his country.

Sweden demolished Estonia 3-0 in their latest Nations League fixture to remain unbeaten in the competition over the two international breaks in September and October.

Kulusevski has even been captain for Sweden in those games, and his latest performance was another sterling outing for the Spurs man.

Picking up the ball just outside the six-yard box after some fine work down the left wing, Kulusevski used his incredible ball control to jinx past one defender, before playing an intricate pass across the line to beat three Estonia defenders.

His pass found Sporting Lisbon striker, Viktor Gyokeres, who made no mistake with an emphatic finish to round out the win for the Scandinavian team.

That assist rounded out a brilliant performance from Kulusevski, and the numbers behind the display say all that needs to be said about his impact.

As per data from StatMuse, Kulusevski had five shots in the game, one more than the entire Estonia team. He also made four successful take-ons to Estonia’s three, and created four chances to Estonia’s two. Perhaps most impressive, Kulusevski had a huge 15 touches in the opponent’s box, while Estonia managed just six.

Tottenham’s star man right now

While Brennan Johnson is stealing all the headlines with his goalscoring run right now, it has to be said that Dejan Kulusevski is arguably the Lilywhites’ best player at the moment. His overall game has been unbelievable, and he really appears to have found a new level of late.

I stepped on his ankle” – Defender apologises for hurting Tottenham player last night, could’ve seen red

Dejan Kulusevski has been one of Tottenham’s best players this season and Spurs fans would absolutely hate to lose the Swede to an injury anytime soon.

Fortunately, the attacking midfielder has avoided such on international duty despite a threat coming his way in the game against Estonia yesterday.

FotbollSkanalen note that Estonia’s Karol Mets fouled the Tottenham man, who was left rolling about in pain and reeling from what was a late challenge.

Mets was only shown a yellow card but he apologised to the player after the game, which Sweden won 3-0.

He said, as relayed by FotbollSkanalen: “It was just a normal duel. I slipped a bit and stepped on his ankle. I hope he is fine and that it was nothing serious.”

On it being a yellow, he suggested relief: “Yes, definitely. On a worse day it could even have been something else (red card). So it was fair.”

The Spurs star also seemed to accept the apology after the win.

“There was nothing bad that he wanted to do. I could play on.”

The 24-year-old’s comments would also come as a sigh of relief for his club’s fans.

Kulusevski might have only one goal and an assist in the Premier League so far, but he has been in the thick of creating things in the attacking midfield role.

Spurs’ major issue has been converting chances and Kulusevski’s performances would gain more limelight, if that problem was sorted.

As it stands, he can continue to do his job at the weekend against West Ham.
