Tottenham have an option to buy Dejan Kulusevski at their earliest opportunity during the summer transfer window.

Under the terms of his loan deal, Spurs can buy him from Juventus for £25 million when the market restarts again in June.

And the Daily Mail report that is the club’s plan, given how well the Swede has settled into life in north London.

Tottenham have been looking for a forward to round off their frontline for a number of seasons now, with Lucas Moura not showing the right consistency.

Kulusevski is not on the same level as Harry Kane or Heung-min Son yet but he has scored twice and laid on five goals in just 10 Premier League games so far.

Antonio Conte is clearly a fan, having praised the player when he signed him and given him the confidence and freedom when he is on the pitch.

‘We are talking about a player that I know very well because he played in Italy,’ said Conte.

‘He played in a fantastic way when I was the coach of Inter. I tried to ask for him but then Juventus moved before us. Maybe they put more money than us at the time!

‘We are talking about a player who is only 21 — he has to continue in this way. He has a big engine and is good technically. For Tottenham, he is a good signing for now and the future.’
