Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has been in impressive form for the North London club this season.
Popular pundit Mark Schwarzer has tipped him to end up in the team of the season.
Schwarzer claims that Kulusevski is on fire right now and he has rediscovered himself since the change of roles. Initially, he joined Spurs as a right-sided winger but Ange Postecoglou has used him in a more central role and he has excelled as the number ten.
Tottenham were recently beaten by Crystal Palace in the Premier League, but the Swedish international did reasonably well for his side.
“Right. My hot take for this week is Dejan Kulusevski is going to be in the team of the season. And we’ll back it up with another great performance against Crystal Palace,” Schwarzer said on Optus Sport.
“He’s absolutely on fire. He’s talked about it since he’s been at Spurs, that he wants to play more central. And he’s a guy that I look he on the weekend, he played in a in a combination of positions, predominantly probably was out wide.
“And he scores the goal from actually coming in from the right hand side, cutting inside. That’s what he does really, really well. So I think he is one of the in form players at the moment in the Premier League.
“And if he continues the form, and I think he will, because I just think he’s finding that he’s found the love.”
His technical ability, vision, flair and workrate have made a huge difference to the Tottenham attack in the final third. He is an indispensable asset for the club and one of the first names on the team sheet.
If Tottenham want to succeed this season, the Swedish international will need to sustain his current form. The 24-year-old will be delighted with the praise from fans and neutrals this season and he will look to build on his impressive start to the season.
It remains to be seen whether he can help Spurs return to the Champions League and end their wait for a trophy this season.
