Tottenham are set to make Dejan Kulusevski’s transfer from Juventus permanent this summer, according to reports.
Dejan Kulusevski joined Tottenham on loan from Juventus in the January transfer window.
The Swede has since hit the ground running in England. On just his second start for the club he provided one goal and one assist as Spurs earned a huge 3-2 win over champions Manchester City.
The 21-year-old has scored a further two goals and provided five more assists in his subsequent league outings for the Lilywhites.
Such fine form has already endeared the winger to the Tottenham faithful, who are no doubt pleased to see the Evening Standard report on Wednesday that Spurs will make Kulusevski’s move permanent this summer.

How much Tottenham have to pay for Kulusevski
Kulusevski joined Spurs on an 18-month loan in January worth £8.3m, and also included the option to make the move permanent this summer for a further £24.9m.
Tottenham do have the option to make the deal for Kulusevski permanent at the end of 2022/23, but that would come at a higher price of £29.1m.
So, given the Swede has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water, it makes sense for Spurs to activate their option to buy this summer and saves themselves a few million.
Kulusevski could also earn back his transfer fee by helping Spurs secure a Champions League place.
Antonio Conte’s side are currently 4th in the Premier League, but Arsenal can go level on points with them on Wednesday evening if they beat Chelsea.
