Dejan Kulusevski has joked that Antonio Conte "doesn't want me to have fun" as the Tottenham boss tries to build a nastier squad to reach new heights.
Spurs have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the new Premier League season, and Conte said ahead of Saturday's 1-0 win against Wolves that he wants to build a nastier, more ruthless side to help the club take the next steps in his development. That new edge, aided by experienced new signings such as Ivan Perisic, has helped Tottenham take seven points from their opening three matches without having to reach top gear yet.
The creative Kulusevski admits that he can still improve plenty in his game, but when asked whether he can get nastier as the manager demanded, the 22-year-old was not entirely sure.
