# Tottenham Hotspur: Dejan Kulusevski permanent deal update

**According to a report from Italian outlet [Siamo La Roma](https://www.siamolaroma.it/2022/04/07/allegri-vuole-rifare-litaljuve-oltre-a-zaniolo-ce-cristante/), Tottenham Hotspur are already preparing to make Dejan Kulusevski a permanent member of the squad.**

### The lowdown: Bright beginnings

Signed on an 18-month loan deal from Juventus ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12529098/tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-sign-dejan-kulusevski-and-rodrigo-bentancur-from-juventus-on-deadline-day)), the 21-year-old has enjoyed a superb start to life in the Premier League.

The right-winger has [scored twice and provided five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dejan-kulusevski/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/431755) in ten outings for Spurs so far, quickly becoming a fan favourite at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Now an update has suggested that the club have made up their mind about the Sweden international, perhaps no surprise given he is already ranking as the squad’s third-best player ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)) behind Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.

### The latest: Deal pending

As per the report from [Siamo La Roma](https://www.siamolaroma.it/2022/04/07/allegri-vuole-rifare-litaljuve-oltre-a-zaniolo-ce-cristante/), Tottenham are believed to be ‘ready to activate’ an obligation to buy the [22-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dejan-kulusevski/nationalmannschaft/spieler/431755/verein_id/3557) ace ‘immediately’.

It’s claimed that Spurs have seen enough to sanction a €35million (£29million) permanent move at the earliest possible juncture.

Having [cost](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12529098/tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-sign-dejan-kulusevski-and-rodrigo-bentancur-from-juventus-on-deadline-day) an initial £8.3million in loan fees, the move could ultimately rise to roughly £37million to make Kulusevski a Lilywhite.

### The verdict: Get it done

There can be little underestimating the impact that the Swede has already had since arriving in north London, particularly during a [standout display](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-city_tottenham-hotspur/index/spielbericht/3592107) in the victory over Manchester City.

Described as a [‘non-stop machine’](https://www.101greatgoals.com/news/a-monster-expert-analysis-on-tottenham-new-boy-dejan-kulusevski/) by Italian Football expert Nima Tavallaey Roodsari, Kulusevski is a constant thorn in the opposition defence, completing on average 1.2 dribbles and producing 1.9 key passes per game ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/dejan-kulusevski/928124)).

Still just 21 and already with [209 competitive outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dejan-kulusevski/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/431755) under his belt, adding the versatile attacking midfielder to the Tottenham squad on a permanent basis would is a no-brainer.
