Taking to Twitter, reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has an update for Tottenham Hotspur fans involving in-form loanee Dejan Kulusevski.
The Lowdown: ‘Decky’ shines for Spurs…
Currently on an 18-month temporary spell from Juventus, the Sweden international has been seriously impressing under manager Antonio Conte in recent weeks.

Indeed, ‘Decky’ has starred as part of a front line alongside marquee players Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, racking up two goals and four assists over Tottenham’s last six Premier League matches (Transfermarkt).
This has led to reports of a major Spurs decision by transfer chief Fabio Paratici, with Juve Live recently claiming that the Lilywhites are already ‘more and more convinced’ over signing him permanently.
Sharing an update, Romano has now posted what he knows about the 21-year-old.
The Latest: Romano shares Kulusevski update…
According to the reporter, Tottenham are ‘more than happy’ with Kulusevski as part of Conte’s ‘long term project’. He also goes into detail on the conditions of a potential permanent move, shedding light on the mandatory purchase clause and how the club can seal him indefinitely ‘this summer’.
Romano explained:
“Tottenham are more than happy with Kulusevski as part of long term project.
Reminder:
▪️ Mandatory buy clause in case Tottenham will qualify to UCL next season/15 appearances as starter;
▪️ €10m loan fee until 2023. Buy clause worth €40m (£33.5) next summer, €35m (£29m) this summer.”
The Verdict: A must?
There is an argument to be made that is early days yet for him at Tottenham, but based on what we’ve seen so far, Kulusevski is clearly a player with huge potential.
It is little wonder that those within Spurs are overjoyed with the 21-year-old so far and potentially sealing him on a permanent deal for £29m, depending on certain conditions, could actually come as great value for money.
Still young and adapting to the Premier League very quickly, this could certainly be one to watch out for.
