Rumoured Tottenham target Ruslan Malinovskyi ‘liked’ a tweet from Fabrizio Romano last week revealing that Dejan Kulusevski is back from injury.
Malinovskyi was heavily linked with a move to Spurs towards the end of the summer transfer window (TuttoMercatoWeb), but the attacking midfielder stayed put with Atalanta.
Tottenham have been backed to reignite their interest in the Ukrainian in January, with CMW.it reporting last week that Fabio Paratici is eyeing a potential double deal for the attacking midfielder and his Atalanta teammate Giorgio Scalvini.
It was asserted that the Serie A club are willing to cash in on the 29-year-old as they want to avoid losing him for free when his contract runs out next summer.
It looks like Malinovskyi might be following the developments at Tottenham closely this season, with the midfielder ‘liking’ a social media post about Kulusevski’s fitness. He also liked a tweet about Tottenham’s Group D Champions League table earlier this month.

Kulusevski did make his comeback in Spurs’ 2-1 loss to Liverpool on Sunday, replacing Ryan Sessegnon in the 68th minute. The Swede did not take long to impact the game, setting up Harry Kane’s goal a little over a minute after his introduction.
Spurs Web Opinion
Spurs fans should not read too much into this as Malinovskyi and Kulusevski were teammates at Atalanta previously. So, the Ukrainian might have been happy that the Swede has recovered from his hamstring problem.
Having said that, if Tottenham do hold a serious interest in the Atalanta star, perhaps Kulusevski could help convince him to make the move to North London.
