Dejan Kulusevski might have only been with Tottenham for a week or so, but he seems to already be loving life under Antonio Conte.

The Swede made his debut this weekend and looked confident enough as Spurs saw off Brighton in the FA Cup. Kulusevski will now be hoping to make his Premier League debut when Tottenham face Southampton this week.

One of the things Tottenham fans will be looking forward to is how Kulusevski links up with the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son in attack. The ex-Juventus man can play a number of positions, and is expected to get his chance at some point in the attacking three.

And speaking about playing with Kane, Kulusevski has been explaining how the influence of former manager, Andrea Pirlo, could bring even more out of the Spurs striker.

“Pirlo is a fantastic coach and a fantastic guy. I spoke with him nearly every day and he always spoke to me a lot about how I should shape my body and how I can look for passes without showing the opposition where I am going to play the ball,” he told Football.London.

“And that is exactly what I hope will help me to help Harry even more in the future.”

A wide forward like Dejan Kulusevski should love playing with Harry Kane. The England skipper is brilliant and finding space and picking out a pass. Just like we see with the likes of Son and Lucas, Kulusevski should find himself in plenty of goalscoring positions.

The challenge now for the Swedish ace is to really hit the ground running. There’s a good feeling about Spurs at the moment and Antonio Conte seems to have the team ticking along nicely.
