Tottenham saw off West Ham United today as they kept themselves well in the hunt for what is turning into a dramatic race for the top four.

A Harry Kane assists masterclass and two goals from Heung-Min Son ensured that Spurs saw off the Hammers with relative ease in the end. Indeed, Kane probably could and should have been on the scoresheet as well, given the chances he had.

For Tottenham and manager Antonio Conte, there was plenty to smile about. Not least – once again – the performance of Dejan Kulusevski. And speaking on Sky Sports at half-time, Jamie Redknapp admitted to being hugely impressed by the new Tottenham man.

“He’s an unusual player, he drifts around the pitch. He’s got such good spatial awareness, he always looks to play a forward pass, little one twos. I’ve been very impressed with him today he’s been a good signing,” Redknapp said.

Kulusevski has nailed down his place in the Tottenham team at the moment and looks every bit the quality signing they needed in the winter.

TBR’s View: Kulusevski Shines Again For Tottenham

While he didn’t get a goal or an assist today, Kulusevski once again played a big role in helping Tottenham win out.

His direct runs down the wing are exactly what Redknapp is talking about here and he is definitely one of the better Tottenham signings in recent times.

He’s got a key role to play now under Conte and if Spurs do make the top four, then Kulusevski’s signing will have proven pivotal.
