Arsenal beat Tottenham for the second time this season in the north London derby on Wednesday.

The Gunners established their north London dominance on Wednesday, and Tottenham have now failed to beat Arsenal in each of their last six encounters.

The 🌺league positions show that Arsenal are simply way ahead of Tottenham right now.

Arsenal may be bett🅠er than Spurs, but there are still some very talented playe🌞rs at Tottenham.

Speaking to the BBC, Pat Nevin has been discussing which Spurs player is most likely to get into the Arsenal side, and he claimed that Dejan Kulusevski would be a great fit for the Gunners.

Dejan Kulusevski would be a great fit for Arsenal.

Nevin cl🍸aimed that Kulusevski would be brilliant for Arsenal.

Martin Keown said Kulusevski would get into the Arsenal team this week, while Ally McCoist reckons Micky van de Ven would start for Arsenal.

Nevin says that Kulusevski is♈ the one player at Tottenham who would be best for Arsenal.

“Which Tไottenham player would Arsenal most like in their team?” Nevin was asked.

“It has to be Kulusevski. I know he doesn’t play all the time. It would’ve been Son, but he’s not been in the same form he was in previously. I was thinking about Maddison, but I’ll go for Kuluওsevski, I think he’d suit them.” Nevin said.

Dejan Kulusevski compared to Martin Odegaard

Kulusevski has been Tottenham’s best player this s🎃eason, and his performances have been utterly magnificent at times.

As Nevi♚n says, Kulusevski would be brillian💦t for Arsenal, but the question is, would he start for the Gunners?

The Swede has been playing in a more central role this se🔯ason, and in order to start for Arsenal, he’d probably have to usurp Martin Odegaard.

A look at the two players’ stats this season is🐻 very interesting.

Kulusevski has actually been outperforming Odegaard this season in a lot of key metrics, and the🍒 Spurs ace would potentially have a case to make for starting over the Arsenal captain.

Arsenal almost signed Kulusevski before Tottenham swooped three years ago, and perh🌳aps that is a transfer that the Gunners are kicking themselves for mi🌱ssing out on.

Kulusevski deserv��es to be playing for a club competing for top honours, and, as Ne𒀰vin says, he’d be a great fit in a team like Arsenal.
