Should you might bottle and promote Dejan Kulusevski’s secret formulation, you’d make tens of millions.

Enjoying his fifth consecutive 90 minutes in simply 14 days, he was as soon as once more Tottenham’s greatest participant in possession, making a purpose and three extra probabilities, and their hardest working but.

No participant on the sector has run additional than Kulusevski’s complete of 12.3 km and his 16 sprints are additionally probably the most of any participant.

Good job, the Spurs then have Kulusevski.

His shoulders should harm carrying this facet.
