‘It is amazing’: Kulusevski lauds Kane after Tottenham debut
Dejan Kulusevski has suggested that the ability that Harry Kane has is amazing as he lauded the striker following his Tottenham Hotspur debut on Saturday – .
Kulusevski was introduced ahead of the final stages of their FA Cup tie with Brighton. It was the Swede’s first appearance for Spurs following his loan move during the January transfer window.
Antonio Conte threw the 21-year-old on with the home side 3-1 ahead against the Seagulls. In fact, Kane had added his second just two minutes before Kulusevski came on for Tottenham.
Of course, his second was scrappy. He was there to slide the ball across the line after a brilliant run from Son Heung-min. But there was absolutely no doubt over the quality of the forward’s first.
It was a sumptuous finish from Kane. And after getting the chance to play alongside the 28-year-old for the final 22 minutes, Kulusevski outlined just how impressed he was playing with Kane in the victory.
“What impressed me was his technique, the way he stops the ball and the way he changes the whole pitch with his passes,” he said, . “It is amazing, really. I know that when he has the ball, I have to run because he will find me.”
Kulusevski will hope to build devastating relationship with Kane and Son in Tottenham attack
It is too soon to work out whether Kulusevski will be a success at Tottenham. He had some bright moments against Brighton. And he should have had an assist for Steven Bergwijn.
What he has got is a proven track record in Serie A. He had 30 goals involvements in 94 games in that competition. And that is a remarkable record given his age.
It would be huge for Tottenham if Kulusevski can build a relationship with Kane and Son. The latter two already have an incredible understanding, as shown by their amazing record as a pairing.
It could be devastating if the January signing can now kick on from a promising debut for the club. Tottenham would certainly face a simple decision over whether to keep Kulusevski at the end of his loan if he did.
