However, it was Spurs, under Antonio Cont at the time.Dejan Kulusevski, a winger for Tottenham Hotspur, has received praise from Gary Lineker.
The £25 million acquisition from Juventus maintained his excellent form this season on Friday night as Tottenham defeated Nottingham Forest with his goal and an assist.
It should be noted that this was a player who was struggling in Turin and wasn’t even able to earn starts for the squad until Juventus decided to give him a shot and brought him in on a temporary loan.
It proved to be a wise decision because during his first few months at Hotspur Way, he finished ahead of Arsenal in fourth position, helping the team qualify for the Champions League.
And today, during his discussion of Dejan Kulusevski’s technique, Gary Lineker made the comparison between him and Jack Grealish, the outstanding ball-carrier for Manchester City.

“I have to admit, I do like watching their football,” Lineker said. “An enraged ball isn’t it wonderful? No matter what, we’re going to go for it because it’s energizing.
“Kulusevski is difficult to get the ball off of; he has run more than any other player this season.” His power and might make him similar to Grealish in a few ways.
