Gary Neville says ‘very rare’ Tottenham Hotspur player could be worth £100m soon
Gary Neville has given his verdict on Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski after watching him in action against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The former Manchester United defender has noted what Kulusevski makes so special and believes that he could become a £100 million player soon.
So, what has Gary Neville said about Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski? Let’s take a look.
Praise for Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski
Well, Tottenham Hotspur beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 away from home at the City Ground in the Premier League on Friday evening.
Kulusevski was one of the best players on the pitch. The 23-year-old Sweden international forward provided the assist for Richarlison’s goal in the first half and himself found the back of the net in the second period.
Gary Neville was following the match for Sky Sports. The former Manchester United defender was hugely impressed with Kulusevski and believes that he could be worth £100 million.
Neville told Sky Sports: “Players that play in that role, that take it on the back foot and accept it on the back foot, the attacking midfielders, the No 10s, any player of that ilk, they’re very rare to be able to do that.
“What we’ve seen in the last few weeks is him playing that role and become one of the rare players.
“You’re talking about him going from a player who might be £50m on the right to being something that if he gets going in that No 10 position, can be really special and then you’re pushing it to an £80m or £100m player.
“It’s only potential at the moment and there’s a long way to go, but that’s what I see in him playing in that more central role. It’s really exciting. James Maddison will have to fight for that back!”
Dejan Kulusevski is a Spurs gem
In my view, Tottenham Hotspur and Sweden international forward Dejan Kulusevski could become a world-class player.
Kulusevski is only 23 now. I believe that he will get better and develop even further in the coming years.
It now looks as if the Sweden international is enjoying his football. The Tottenham forward looks very mobile and also works hard off the ball.
The former Juventus youngster has made 65 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. Kulusevski has scored 12 goals and given 17 assists in those games.
Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season, and I believe that the North London club could be successful in their quest.
