Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has been quite impressive since joining the club.
He has performed at a high level during his time at the club, and his ability to slot into multiple roles is an added advantage. The Swedish international is capable of operating in wide areas as well as a central attacking midfielder.
The 24-year-old has established himself as an asset for the North London club and he will look to help them win major trophies in the coming seasons.
Kulusevski has now opened up on a piece of advice he received from Cristiano Ronaldo during their time together at Juventus. The Portuguese international urged Kulusevski to get to know his body better and play according to his strengths and weaknesses.
However, the Swedish international did not quite understand his body back then, but he is starting to understand his physicality better and that has allowed him to tap into his strengths and minimise his weaknesses.
Kulusevski told Fotbollskanalen: I’m getting to know my body. When I was younger, I didn’t understand when [Cristiano] Ronaldo told me: ‘You will get to know your body’. Because I didn’t know my body then.
“But now I’m starting to understand my strengths and weaknesses, how I can improve. So I feel like everything is getting easier.”
Dejan Kulusevski could get better
Kulusevski is yet to enter the peak of his career and he could get better with coaching and experience. He has the physical and technical attributes to develop into a star for Spurs in the Premier League. Tottenham will certainly be delighted with the player’s recent comments, and they will hope that he can improve further and continue to impress every week.
The North London outfit will need their key players in top form if they are to end their wait for silverware soon.
