Many people expected Tottenham Hotspur to fall down the Premier League table after Harry Kane moved for Bayern Munich in the summer.
Who would score goals for the Spurs? Who will generate the opportunities? Was Harry Kane the team’s lifeblood?
But, with the help of his players, Ange Postecoglou answered all of those questions fast, as Tottenham is currently six points behind leaders Liverpool at the halfway point.
When Antonio Conte was in charge, the 23-year-old was initially signed on loan from Juventus before being made permanent for £25 million.
Fast forward to the present, and despite Harry Kane’s £100 million move to Bayern Munich and his incredible start, Dejan Kulusevski is the more valuable player in the transfer market.
CIES Football Observatory provides the 100 players with the ‘highest estimated transfer value’ from around the world.
To no one’s surprise, Real Madrid and England’s rising prodigy Jude Bellingham is ranked first. However, Dejan Kulusevski is ahead of a few prominent names further down, including his old colleague Harry Kane, Manchester City‘s Jeremy Doku, Real Madrid‘s Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Manchester United‘s Bruno Fernandes.
Kulusevski is now worth 100.4 million Euros (£86.6 million) according to CIES, whereas Kane is worth 95 million Euros (£82.45 million).
Dejan Kulusevski is significantly underappreciated.
It should be mentioned that when Spurs first signed the Sweden international, he wasn’t having a fantastic time in Turin, in fact, he was suffering.
But, after only a few months at Hotspur Way, he helped overhaul a faltering Spurs team, notably helping them beat Arsenal to Champions League football.
