In a season where Tottenham Hotspur has been inconsistent, Dejan Kulusevski’s belief in the team’s potential to end their trophy drought shines brighter than ever.
One of the standout performers this season for Tottenham Hotspur has undoubtedly been Dejan Kulusevski.
The Swedish international has emerged as a cornerstone of Ange Postecoglou’s project, earning plaudits not only for his versatility on the pitch but also for his leadership qualities off it.
In a campaign plagued by injuries across the squad, Kulusevski has showcased his adaptability, excelling as a central midfielder, a winger, and even in a free-roaming role.
His ability to seamlessly transition between these positions has provided Postecoglou with an invaluable tactical edge, likened to having three players in one.
Kulusevski’s contribution goes beyond mere utility. With 13 goal contributions in all competitions, he has begun to add a crucial end product to his game, solidifying his place as one of Tottenham’s most reliable attacking threats.
Yet, it is his mindset that sets him apart. His manager has publicly lauded him as the team’s best player this season, a testament not only to his performances but also to the mentality he brings—a mentality that aligns closely with Postecoglou’s vision of a winning Tottenham side.
Off the pitch, Deki has become a galvanising figure, inspiring his teammates with his unyielding belief that Tottenham can end their long wait for silverware.
His confidence in the team’s potential reflects a broader shift in the club’s culture under Postecoglou—a shift from near-misses to genuine ambition.
Dejan Kulusevski has never been one to shy away from expressing his ambitions, and this season is no exception.
Speaking about Tottenham’s potential to lift a trophy, the Swedish star exuded confidence and determination.
He told Skysports: “It’s really important because it can be a first step, and for this club [it is important], because it hasn’t happened in many years.
“This season, we’re in the Europa League, Carabao Cup, and the FA Cup is coming soon. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to win one of them this season.”
Addressing the often-mocked ‘Spursy’ label that has plagued the club’s reputation, Kulusevski was unequivocal in his response: “You just have to shut out the words from the outside because it doesn’t matter. Just go out, play, and win, and then they will find something else to talk about.”
In Deki, Tottenham have not just a talented player but a leader in the making—a player who embodies the mentality of champions.
The 24-year-old’s conviction is not unfounded. Tottenham Hotspur are still alive in three competitions—the Europa League, Carabao Cup, and the FA Cup—all of which present realistic opportunities for silverware.
While the Premier League title is out of reach, cup competitions often reward teams with resilience, tactical adaptability, and a winning mentality—all qualities that Kulusevski embodies and inspires in others – with a player like him, the Lilywhites have a shot at winning.
The best players in the world share a common trait: an unshakeable belief in their ability to win, and in Kulusevski, Tottenham have a player determined to lead them to the summit. The road to success may still be long, but with players like Deki in the team, it is a journey worth believing in.
