Tottenham Hotspur ace is leading the way in one Premier League statistic that's key to Ange Postecoglou's system
While results may be up and down for Tottenham Hotspur this season, one player is in red-hot form, and he has the statistics to back it up.
Dejan Kulusevski is firing on all cylinders
One of the main positives of this highly inconsistent season for Tottenham Hotspur has been the step up Dejan Kulusevski has made since moving into a more central role.
The Swedish star has been something of a revelation and has taken to the playmaker role with ease, showcasing his incredible vision, work-rate, and creativity.
Indeed, Kulusevski has been far and away Ange Postecoglou’s best player this term, and looks like he may have truly taken his game to the next level.
The 24-year-old has not just been the best player in Tottenham’s squad, though; he is absolutely dominating the charts in various statistics in the Premier League.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Kulusevski is leading the way when it comes to chances created by players in the English top flight.
Dejan Kulusevski dominating the final third
Now, WhoScored have shared data on the players in the Premier League that have won possession in the final third the most, and Kulusevski is once again at the top of the pile.
In fact, he’s been so good in this area, that he’s won back possession four more times than his nearest rivals, Antoine Semenyo and Bryan Mbuemo.
Kulusevski has recovered possession in the final third 16 times this season, proving how instrumental he is to Postecoglou’s system, which demands players press high, challenge for the ball, and work relentless to turnover possession.
Keep it up, Kulusevski
If Kulusevski continues at his current rate, he will surely be considered among one of the best players in the Premier League this season, and his attacking returns and statistics should prove that. It would be very surprising if he doesn’t make it into the team of the year by the end of the season.
