Dejan Kulusevski wants a statement win against Manchester City that kickstarts Tottenham’s season, lifts ailing boss Antonio Conte’s spirits and, on a personal level, helps him continue proving wrong those who doubted him in Italy.
The 22-year-old, who is on an 18-month loan from Juventus, had struggled for game time in Turin prior to his switch to Spurs. And he admits a sense of revenge in part fuelled his highly impressive first few months in north London.
Now he is hoping he and his team-mates can rekindle the form they showed in that second half of last season and put behind them the inconsistency that has proved costly this time out.
