Antonio Conte believes that "important prospect" Dejan Kulusevski has already improved during his short time at Tottenham Hotspur. The 21-year-old Sweden international signed on loan for Spurs on the January transfer window deadline day from Juventus, alongside Rodrigo Bentancur.
Both players have quickly adapted to north London and the English game, but it is Kulusevski who has really caught the eye with four assists and two goals in his first six Premier League starts. The Swede is also looking like a bargain buy for Spurs as they will pay Juventus a £8.3m loan fee - £2.5m for the remainder of this season and £5.8m for the 2022/23 campaign - and there is an obligation to buy him for £29.2m if sporting criteria are met, believed to be making 15 starts for the club - which could happen this season - or Champions League qualification.
Even if those objectives are not achieved, Spurs can sign him for that same amount this summer or for what is understood to be an extra £4.2m next summer. Conte believes that Spurs have a top class young player on their hands and one that has already come on leaps and bounds in just six weeks.
