Tottenham Positive 3: Kulusevski continues to shine

Tottenham Hotspur did not do a lot of business regarding incoming players during the January transfer window; however, the signing of Dejan Kulusevski looks to be a good one. Still far from a finished product, Kulusevski fits the team, system, and the league.

Kulusevski showed fans a little bit of his power on Saturday as he drove a wicked shot past Ilian Meslier at the near post. Seeing Kulusevski cut in on his left foot and launch a rocket-like shot had just a hint of Gareth Bale to it. Not the athlete the Welshman was for Spurs, Kulusevski can be just as effective if he continues to improve.

Decki almost had a second goal similar to the first, but a strong hand from Meslier denied the Swede his brace. It is early on a team that has been dying to find another goalscorer for several seasons, but it does look like Kulusevski could be that player.
