Dejan Kulusevski has urged Ange Postecoglou to ensure that he is giving one of his ‘very talented’ Tottenham teammates more minutes on the pitch.
Tottenham Hotspur have now made it three wins from their last three Premier League matches with some key players returning from injury.
Spurs now have some strong options back available and one of those players Kulusevski is a huge fan of and believes he can be a major boost for the team.
Dejan Kulusevski lauds James Maddison’s impact at Tottenham
Dejan Kulusevski has lauded the impact of James Maddison at Tottenham following his return to the team following a spell on the sidelines.
The Swede claims that his quality on the pitch allows ‘special things’ to happen and his leadership skills away from the pitch are also so important for the squad.
Kulusevski told Sky Sports: “He’s a very talented player, always when he plays he’s going to make good things happen. We want him on the pitch because he’s a great, great player.
The 24-year-old also hailed Maddison’s leadership qualities, adding: “He’s also a great guy to have in the squad and he treats everyone really well – the younger and older players.
“He’s a great guy who I learn stuff from. The way he acts, I think it’s great how he respects everybody, how he talks and tries to get everyone involved. I’ve been learning things from him.”
James Maddison is quietly having a big season at Tottenham
Maddison is quietly having a strong season in Lilywhite having taken his tally to 17 goals and assists in 33 appearances this season.
The midfielder set up Djed Spence’s goal against Ipswich with some wonderful quick feet movement in the penalty area.
Getting Maddison back to his best could have a game-changing impact on Postecoglou’s squad for the remainder of the season.
