June 17, (THEWILL) – Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced the permanent signing of Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus, marking their first acquisition since the appointment of manager Ange Postecoglou.
The Swedish winger had been on loan at Spurs for the past 18 months after joining the club in January 2022. The club expressed their delight in a statement that read in part: “We are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus.” The player has signed a contract that will extend until 2028, solidifying his commitment to the London-based club.
Sources monitored by THEWILL reveal that Tottenham will pay a transfer fee of €30 million for the 23-year-old Kulusevski. The winger’s permanent deal comes after a successful debut season with the club, where he made 37 appearances, despite being hampered by injuries, and scored two goals. His limited goal tally aside, Kulusevski made a significant impact during his time on loan, contributing to Tottenham’s impressive finish in the top four of the Premier League in his debut season.
With the permanent signing of Kulusevski, Tottenham Hotspur aim to bolster their attacking prowess under the guidance of new manager, Ange Postecoglou. The acquisition signifies the club’s determination to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
Kulusevski’s performances during his loan spell have clearly impressed the club, leading to the decision to secure his services on a long-term basis.
