The Swedish media have praised Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski after his display against Estonia last night.

Dejan Kulusevski played the full 90 minutes as Sweden picked up a 2-0 win on Sunday evening.

The 23-year-old is enjoying a promising campaign at Tottenham after going through a tough spell under Antonio Conte last season.

Indeed, Kulusevski has been transformed under Ange Postecoglou and while he needs to work on his end product, he’s become an integral part of the Aussie’s side.

The Swede has started in every single Premier League game for Spurs this season, netting three times in 12 appearances.

And Kulusevski has carried his encouraging form into the international break.

Swedish media praise Kulusevski after latest international display

Fotboll Skanalen handed Kulusevski a three out of five-star rating for his display against Estonia.

The winger failed to get on the scoresheet or provide an assist. But the outlet notes he created plenty of openings for Sweden on the night. 

“Created a lot,” they wrote. “Almost got an assist when he cleared Gyökeres at the start of the second half. Good work rate.”

Kulusevski has been one of the most creative players in the Premier League this season. But his stats don’t quite reflect just how vital he is to Postecoglou’s side.

At 23, you’d imagine the winger will only continue to improve and Spurs will be hopeful he can develop his game in the final third. But he remains an integral part of this current Tottenham side and Postecoglou is clearly a huge fan of the player.

While Kulusevski lacks real pace, his work-rate off the ball can’t be faulted and he’s striking up a promising partnership with Pedro Porro down the right-hand side.

Spurs return to action this weekend as they host Aston Villa in North London.

It’s no secret that Tottenham are light on numbers up front after injuries to Richarlison, Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic.

Kulusevski looks set to continue his run in the side and Spurs will be relived to see the winger has come through the international break without picking up an injury.
