Juventus confirm Dejan Kulusevski has joined Tottenham Hotspur

Juventus have confirmed the departure of Swedish attacker Dejan Kulusevski to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 21-year-old has scored twice and registered three assists in 27 appearances for the Old Lady during the 2021-22 campaign, but he has largely struggled to secure regular starts this term.

Having missed out on Luis Diaz to Liverpool, Tottenham stepped up their pursuit of Kulusevski, and the Premier League club have now secured his services on an initial loan deal.

The Sweden international has signed a loan deal until June 2023, which includes an obligation to make the move permanent for €35m (£29.2m) under certain conditions.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the potential €35m (£29.2m) clause would be paid in five instalments.

Kulusevski, who is capable of operating in a number of different forward areas, has scored nine times and registered 10 assists in 74 appearances for Juventus.

Tottenham have also signed Rodrigo Bentancur from the Italian outfit, with the Uruguay international joining the North London club for an initial fee of €19m (£15.9m).
