Fabrizio Romano has dropped an update on the future of Tottenham Hotspur loanee Dejan Kulusevski.
What’s the talk?
Speaking on a recent episode of the Here We Go podcast, the transfer insider claimed that, after joining Spurs on an initial 18-month loan deal back in January, Tottenham sources have made it clear the club already view the 21-year-old as a full-time player.
The Italian journalist went on to suggest that it is a matter of when, rather than if, Antonio Conte’s side go on to make the Sweden international’s temporary switch a €30m (£25m) permanent move this summer.
Regarding Tottenham’s deal for Kulusevski, Romano said: “I can tell you that Tottenham sources see Kulusevski as a Tottenham player for the future. It is just a matter of when they will pay the option and the clause, but they will get it done.”
Supporters will love Romano’s claim
Considering just how impressive Kulusevski has been since linking up with Spurs back in January, Romano’s claim that Fabio Paratici will go on to make the winger’s temporary switch a permanent move this summer is sure to be news the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful will love.
Indeed, over his ten Premier League appearances so far this season, the £75m-rated forward has been in breathtaking form for Conte’s side, having already bagged two goals, registered five assists and created six big chances for his teammates, in addition to making an average of 1.9 key passes and taking 1.9 shots per game.

These returns have seen the £78k-per-week sensation who Raj Chohan dubbed both “unreal” and “immense” average a quite astonishing SofaScore match rating of 7.25, ranking him not only as Spurs’ third-best performer in the league but also as the 21st-best player in the division as a whole.
As such, it is easy to understand why Alasdair Gold stated his belief that Kulusevski is “ready for” the Premier League, as well as why the football.london journalist labelled his metrics so far Tottenham as “ridiculous,” as the 21-year-old has quite clearly been a revelation in Conte’s attacking arsenal.
And, with Romano claiming that a deal to bring the Swede to north London on a permanent basis is all but complete, it would seem as if Spurs fans are set to enjoy many more years of witnessing Kulusevski tearing it up in the top flight – something that is certainly an incredibly exciting thought.
