In a season where Tottenham Hotspur have faced inconsistency, one player has remained a shining light, and for Jamie Redknapp, there’s no doubt who has been Spurs’ standout performer so far.
Dejan Kulusevski’s impact on Spurs this season
Tottenham Hotspur’s season has been a story of highs and lows, but amidst their struggles for consistency, one player has consistently delivered — Dejan Kulusevski.
The Swedish international has been pivotal for Ange Postecoglou’s side, showcasing versatility and quality in almost every match he’s played this term. Kulusevski’s importance was on full display during Spurs’ recent thrilling encounter against Manchester City.
Initially expected to slot into midfield, he was instead deployed on the wing to accommodate James Maddison, a tactical adjustment from Postecoglou that proved decisive. The 24-year-old was instrumental in Spurs’ attacking plays, delivering a masterclass in creativity and work rate.
Not only did Kulusevski register an assist for the opening goal with a perfectly weighted cross to Maddison, but he also created three chances during the match, completed four successful dribbles, and made seven duel wins.
Such impactful performances have become a hallmark of the Swedish winger’s season and highlight why he has been a source of hope for Spurs fans.

Jamie Redknapp told Sky Sports: “Kulusevski has been Spurs’ best player this year. I’ve been so impressed with him. It feels like he is just going to another level now.
“Every game he’s at it, he can play in the ten, he can play wide. As I said, I wondered why he didn’t play in the ten today, but I think the manager got that absolutely, right.
“They were brilliant today and Kulusevski especially. Any of those Spurs players could have had the Man of the Match today.”
Dejan Kulusevski’s potential for Spurs this season
Dejan Kulusevski’s ability to consistently deliver standout performances is a breath of fresh air for Tottenham fans, especially in a season where injuries and inconsistency have tested the squad’s depth.
The 24-year-old has not only added quality on the ball but also brought a level of versatility that offers Postecoglou multiple tactical options — be it as a winger or an attacking midfielder.
What’s most exciting for Spurs fans is that Kulusevski still has room to grow. At just 24 years old, the Swedish international is far from his peak, and his consistent performances suggest that he could become one of the Premier League’s best attacking players in the coming years.
