How much have Spurs missed Kulusevski?
Dejan Kulusevski's continued absence could hardly have come at a worse time for Tottenham. The 25-year-old posted on social media that his knee is "great" after social media footage showed him limping while visiting Sweden's national team camp this week, but there is still no timeline for his return. Kulusevski has scored 25 goals and provided 30 assists in 146 appearances for the club since his move from Juventus, initially on loan, in January 2022, and Spurs have missed his creativity for 10 months now.
[BBC] Dejan Kulusevski's continued absence could hardly have come at a worse time for Tottenham. The 25-year-old posted on social media that his knee is "great" after social media footage showed him limping while visiting Sweden's national team camp this week, but there is still no timeline for his return. Kulusevski has scored 25 goals and provided 30 assists in 146 appearances for the club since his move from Juventus, initially on loan, in January 2022, and Spurs have missed his creativity for 10 months now.
The difference in attacking output and results with and without him is stark. Since his debut, Spurs have played 116 Premier League games in which Kulusevski has featured, winning 54 times - a win percentage of 46. 5%.
They have played 47 times in the league without him, winning just 13 times - a win percentage of 27. 7%. Their average goals per game is two with Kulusevski in the team and 1.
3 without him, while their points per game drops from 1. 5 to 1. 1 in his absence.
