# Tottenham: Fabio Paratici wants Dejan Kulusevski

**Fabio Paratici wants to bring Juventus’ Dejan Kulusevski to Tottenham Hotspur, but Antonio Conte is less keen, according to [Il Bianconero](https://www.ilbianconero.com/a/kulusevski-dissidio-paratici-conte-il-tecnico-ha-un-altro-obiett-13348).**

### The lowdown

Juventus paid [£31.5m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dejan-kulusevski/profil/spieler/431755) to sign the Swedish winger in January 2020. He started 19 Serie A matches last season under Andrea Pirlo but Max Allegri has selected him from the off just four times so far this term (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/355855/History/Dejan-Kulusevski)).

The 22-year-old was called up for last summer’s European Championship and [provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dejan-kulusevski/nationalmannschaft/spieler/431755) in a 3-2 win over Poland which secured top spot for Sweden in Group E.

### The latest

The report from [Il Bianconero](https://www.ilbianconero.com/a/kulusevski-dissidio-paratici-conte-il-tecnico-ha-un-altro-obiett-13348) stated that Juventus have slapped a €35m (£29.4m) price tag on Kulusevski, who has apparently attracted ‘several admirers’ in the Premier League, among them Spurs and their arch-rivals Arsenal.

Paratici, who ‘brought Kulusevski to Juve’, wants to negotiate another deal for the winger, but Conte is ‘less enthusiastic’.

In fact, if the manager were to sign a player from his former club Juventus, he would prefer it to be midfielder Weston McKennie.

### The verdict

Kulusevski was excellent for Parma prior to his move to Turin, recording [19 direct goal contributions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dejan-kulusevski/leistungsdaten/spieler/431755/plus/0?saison=2019) (10 goals, nine assists) in 39 games.

It has not really worked out for him at Juve, but he has still demonstrated his talent on the international stage. He was [one of the top creators](https://twitter.com/WhoScored/status/1409955921611141122) at Euro 2020 and compatriot Zlatan Ibrahimovic has even selected him as his [‘heir’](https://twitter.com/MaaxiAngelo/status/1433511891817598979).

If Paratici can win Conte over, then the [‘lethal’](https://twitter.com/MaaxiAngelo/status/1433889457208496147) Kulusevski could prove to be a really good signing for Spurs.
