Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has outrun every player in the Premier League so far this season.
Kulusevski is still very much adjusting to playing under new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.
The 23-year-old has netted one goal in four appearances and has produced some bright moments.
Yet, it’s still very much up for debate whether he’s the right fit to play as a wide forward in a Postecoglou system.
But where Kulusevski may be lacking in certain departments so far this season, he certainly hasn’t in terms of his work rate.
Kulusevski has outrun every player in the Premier League this season
The Premier League claim that Kulusevski has covered a distance of 47.07km across Tottenham’s first four league games.
Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and Arsenal star Declan Rice make up the top three alongside Kulusevski.
The Swedish winger also clocked up a total of 13km against Bournemouth, which is the most of any player in a single match this season.
Kulusevski starred for Spurs during the 2021-22 campaign after making the switch from Juventus in the January window.
The winger thrived under Antonio Conte during the early stages if his Tottenham career. But he’s been unable to recapture his best form over the past year.
The Spurs News View
Kulusevski has enjoyed a promising start to the season and there have been signs that he could become an effective player under Postecoglou.
Whether that comes as a wide player remains to be seen, with the Swede openly admitting in the past that he prefers to play as a No10.
Nevertheless, Kulusevski is clearly putting in the hard yards and that won’t have gone unnoticed by Postecoglou.
