Graham Roberts says 23-year-old Tottenham player was ‘amazing’ v Newcastle

Graham Roberts has given his verdict on Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski’s performance against Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United.

The former Tottenham player and pundit was impressed.

So, what has Graham Roberts said about Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski? Let’s take a look.

Praise for Tottenham Hotspur star Dejan Kulusevski vs Newcastle United

Well, Tottenham Hotspur beat Newcastle United 4-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

Spurs were the better team throughout the 90 minutes, and I believe that they deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.

Son Heung-min was one of the best players on the pitch for Spurs.

Dejan Kulusevski also played well, and, as you can see, former Tottenham star Graham Roberts has raved about him on .

Kulusevski started in the middle of a three-man attacking midfield in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

The 23-year-old Sweden international is a very versatile attacking player who can operate as an attacking midfielder or out wide.

The former Juventus youngster relished playing in the deeper role for Spurs against Newcastle.

Kulusevski was a constant menace to the Newcastle defence and was hard to mark.

The youngster popped up in dangerous areas, created chances after chances for his Tottenham teammates, and made some brilliant passes.

Kulusevski has scored four goals and given one assist in 16 Premier League matches for Spurs this season.

Tottenham Hotspur could finish in Premier League top four

In my view, Tottenham Hotspur could end up in the top four of the Premier League table this season.

Spurs had not been winning matches and conceding far too many goals in recent matches, but they were brilliant against Newcastle.

It is not going to be easy for Tottenham, though. With Aston Villa now stepping up, Spurs need to be more consistent than they have been lately.
