After Tottenham’s recent 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray, the team now sits seventh in both the Premier League and Europa League standings. With seven key senior players sidelined, Spurs are feeling the pressure of reduced squad depth, making any further injuries costly. However, Spurs podcast host John Wenham from Lilywhite Rose reassures fans, expressing confidence that Dejan Kulusevski remains committed to North London despite ongoing speculation, calling the Swedish midfielder, “outstanding” and content asset for the club.
Dejan Kulusevski has been a standout performer for Tottenham in the 2024/25 season, earning praise from top figures in the game. After Spurs’ recent 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Manchester City, Pep Guardiola boldly summed up his admiration for the 24-year-old, stating, “Everything” when asked what he likes about Kulusevski.
Kulusevski has been a gamechanger for Tottenham
Since joining from Juventus last year Dejan Kulusevski is steadily establishing himself as a crucial player for Tottenham, making his retention a priority for manager Ange Postecoglou. Although recent reports from JuveLive suggest that AC Milan, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s encouragement, is interested in the Swedish star, the real concern for Spurs would be potential interest from Manchester City. If City were to make a move, it could present a significant challenge for Tottenham in securing the £110,000 gross per week star’s long-term future at the club.
Despite the attention from big clubs, Lilywhite Rose podcast host John Wenham told Tottenham News he isn’t concerned, feeling confident that the Swede is both committed and happy at Spurs.
“It’s natural that he will be attracting attention. I would say he’s been one of the top five Premier League players this season.
“When players are doing well, big clubs will look at them. However, I don’t think there is anything to worry about, Guardiola has name-dropped Kulusevski in the past.
“If anything, this is positive for Kulusevski and hopefully it can improve his confidence and lead to greater performances going forward because he has been outstanding this season.”

Tottenham will be hoping that Pep Guardiola’s praise for Dejan Kulusevski remains just that—a courteous nod rather than the start of serious interest. With Kulusevski growing into one of Spurs’ pivotal players, Ange Postecoglou will be determined to retain him, making any transfer rumours a potential source of concern as the January window approaches.
