Dejan Kulusevski has been a key player for Tottenham Hotspur ever since he joined the club from Juventus.
The 24-year-old Swedish winger has established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League, but he was recently left out of the starting eleven in the game against Leicester City.
Tottenham played out a draw against the Foxes in the Premier League this season and he was left on the bench. The Swedish international winger has now revealed that he was extremely disappointed to be on the bench, but it is the job of the player to accept the decisions of the manager and move on.
The winger further suggested that it is the job of the players to keep working hard and ensure that they are never left on the bench.
“It happens to all of us. I was benched the first game in the Premier League with Tottenham, and it burns, but as I said, try to be as good as possible so you are never on the bench. But those are my thoughts, maybe they are not someone else’s thoughts”, he said to Expressen.
Kulusevski is versatile enough to operate in the wide areas as well as the central attacking midfielder. He has added goals and creativity to the Tottenham attack since joining the club. The winger is likely to improve with coaching and experience in the coming seasons. He will look to establish himself as an indispensable asset for the North London club going forward.
It will be interesting to see if he can hold down a regular starting spot at the Premier League club for the remainder of the season. There is no doubt that he is good enough to start for Tottenham regularly and he needs to iron out the inconsistencies from his game.
