Recent reports have linked Spurs to Atlanta winger Dejan Kulusevski, although they may have to battle it out with Jose Mourinho’s former club Manchester United if they are to secure his signing.
According to Italian outlet Tuttosport (via Sport Witness), the 19-year-old is attracting a lot of interest thanks to his performances with Parma this season, with whom he has averaged a 7.27 rating with the Serie A side after joining them on loan from Atalanta. The Swedish winger already has three goals and five assists for Parma, which have proved enough to impress Sweden manager Janne Andersson, with Kulusevski making his senior international debut in a 3-0 win over the Faroe Islands earlier this month.
The 19-year-old was a regular in the Atalanta side last season, with eight goals and 10 assists but he was sent out on loan to Parma this season; where he has continued to impress.
It is no surprise to see big European clubs starting to take notice of the Swedish international, with the likes of Spurs, Manchester United and Juventus all reportedly interested.

At just 19, Kulusevski looks like a real prospect and has demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess in Serie A in the last two seasons. Although he is currently valued at £5.4 million by transfermarkt, the report suggests that Atalanta are planning to demand €45 million (£38.6 million), with the hopes that the added interest in the winger will drive up his price.
With Ryan Sessegnon signing in the summer and Spurs’ attacking depth on the wing, it seems unlikely that they will splash out so much on Kulusevski at this moment in time, but the 19-year-old certainly looks like one for the future.
