Dejan Kulusevski has already given Tottenham Hotspur his blessing to complete the signing of former teammate Paulo Dybala. The Swede, who looks set to sign a permanent deal at White Hart Lane, shared the stage with Dybala while at Juventus, winning Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana together.
The Argentina international has confirmed that he will leave the Italian giants once his contract expires in the summer. The 28-year-old, who has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent times, announced his decision to part ways with the Old Lady via a heartfelt message on Twitter.
In February, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City were all offered the chance to sign Dybala on a pre-contract agreement, according to 90Min. Though, at the time, the English sides were reportedly not convinced that the Argentine would leave the Bianconeri after Spurs were close to clinching his signature in 2019, but failed after talks broke down because of the player's image rights.

However, now that Dybala has confirmed his eventual departure from Turin, Fabio Paratici must heed Kulusevski's profiling. Speaking to Italian outlet Tuttosport in 2020, the 22-year-old forward showered the Spurs target with praise and claimed that he's keen to learn from him.
"Dybala? I can only learn from the path that Paulo has taken, sometimes he was also captain," Kulusevski said. "I love his way of playing: he has the games in his head and with his left foot, he invents magic that is usually only seen on the PlayStation
“I am looking forward to being able to combine with Dybala and I will ask De Ligt for lots of advice on how to quickly integrate into the group, he is just a year older than me, and he has already established himself at Juve."
Dybala has relished a vice-captaincy role at the club, and has featured 291 times for Juventus, directly contributing to 163 goals. His impressive displays have made him one of the most coveted players in Europe, and now Tottenham now have the chance to secure the forward's signature amid Fabio Paratici's search for reinforcements in the summer window.
