# Tottenham Hotspur: The Times drop big Dejan Kulusevski transfer update

**According to a report by [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/spurs-ready-to-move-early-to-snap-up-25m-dejan-kulusevski-x6pxk8psb), a major midweek update has come to light on Tottenham Hotspur’s plans for loanee winger Dejan Kulusevski.**

### The Lowdown: ‘Decky’ shining at Spurs…

The Sweden international, who is nicknamed ‘[Decky](https://twitter.com/alasdairgold/status/1492828220630183936)‘, is currently enjoying life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on loan from Juventus, with Spurs manager Antonio Conte [raving over his starlet to the press](https://theboyhotspur.com/the-desire-to-play-antonio-conte-has-high-praise-for-dejan-kulusevski/).

Kulusevski joined the club in January alongside midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, with both players impressing as part of Conte’s new-look Spurs contingent.

The 21-year-old has racked up [two goals and five assists over his 10 Premier League outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dejan-kulusevski/leistungsdaten/spieler/431755) so far as he forms an effective understanding with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane as part of Tottenham’s front three.

As per [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/spurs-ready-to-move-early-to-snap-up-25m-dejan-kulusevski-x6pxk8psb), his form has now prompted Spurs to make a major transfer call.

### The Latest: The Times share big Kulusevski update…

According to their information, the Lilywhites are now ‘ready to move early’ to ‘snap up’ the player in an eight-figure £25 million permanent deal.

Indeed, Tottenham and their transfer chief Fabio Paratici apparently plan to trigger Kulusevski’s £25m clause this summer rather than waiting until his loan expires, when the option could cost around £33.5m.

### The Verdict: Get it done…

Going by his performances so far, £25m could be a real bargain for Kulusevski’s signature permanently, with Serie A expert Nima Tavallaey Roodsari telling [101 Great Goals](https://www.101greatgoals.com/news/a-monster-expert-analysis-on-tottenham-new-boy-dejan-kulusevski/) that the Swede would be a hit under Conte.

The Italian football journalist tipped the 21-year-old to become an ‘absolute monster’ working with Tottenham’s head coach, drawing emphasis Kulusevski being a ‘non-stop machine’ who ‘never steps running’ ([101 Great Goals](https://www.101greatgoals.com/news/a-monster-expert-analysis-on-tottenham-new-boy-dejan-kulusevski/)).

Going by the player’s [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham) returns, Nima has been proven correct, with the winger already averaging a higher match rating than anyone in the Spurs squad [bar Kane and Son.](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)

Taking this into account, it’s crystal clear to see why Spurs are now ready to make his move a permanent one.
