Full breakdown of the Dejan Kulusevski deal and why Ange Postecoglou wanted Tottenham to get him

Dejan Kulusevski is set to become an important part of Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur plans next season after the club made his deal permanent.

Spurs announced on Saturday that they had made the 23-year-old's loan move from Juventus a permanent one with the Swede having signed a five-year contract until 2028. The Serie A side confirmed that the north London club had "exercised the option rights for the definitive acquisition of the registration rights of the player Dejan Kulusevski for a consideration of €30 million (£25.6m), to be paid in six financial years".

Some reports in Italy last month indicated that Kulusevski would be returning to Juventus at the end of his loan deal at Spurs as there was only an obligation to buy him if they qualified for the Champions League next season, which they did not after a disappointing campaign.
