Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevski has covered the most ground per Premier League game this season

With the March international bringing a halt to Premier Leaꦕgue proceedings, it’s a tไime to take stock of everything that has happened domestically.

Opta Analyst have published an article featuring the statistics involving speed and distance in the Premier League this♌ season.

Unsurprisingly, Tottenham star Micky van de Ven has clocked up the highest speed, at 37.1km/h, but he wasn’t the only Spurs p෴layer to lea𒉰d a particular chart.

Kulusevski topped the stats table when it came to ground covered by a regulaജr starter (min🌊imum 1,500 minutes) per game.

The “Premier Leagu♛e’s Marathon Man” registered an impressive 12🌸.3km per Premier League match this season.

Kulusevski leads the way ahead of West Ham’s Tomas Soucek and Newcastle’s Tonali (12.2km per game), wh🔥o shone in the League Cup fi𝓡nal and for Italy against Germany.

He is also ahead of Man City’s Silva (11.9km per gam🐈e) and Southampton’s Flynn Downes (11.6km per game).

Other things Dejan Kulusevski excels at

Along with showing impressive stamina and covering evꦓery blade of grass in games, Kulusevski also ranks highly in a number of other met🌼rics.

Over the past 365 days, Kulusevski’s efforts for Tottenham have seen him ranked in high percentiles for shot-creating actions, progr🉐essive passes and carries, touches in the opposition box, and defensive actions.

At just 24 years of ag💧e, Kulusevski is yet to enter his prime and it’෴ll be exciting to see how he continues to develop at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Kulus⛎evski was surplus to requirements at Juventus but now h𒅌e’s shining at Spurs, so the Italians’ loss is the north Londoners’ gain.
