According to Sqawka, Dejan Kulusevski has created the joint most chances across Europe’s top seven leagues this season.
Kulusevski has delivered some outstanding performances this season, not just in his traditional right-wing role but also having excelled as a number ten at times when James Maddison was out injured.
The Swede has received some high praise from some pundits over the last few months, with Gary Neville even suggesting following the winger’s showing against Nottingham Forest back in December that he could evolve into a ‘£100m player’ (Sky Sports).
One can see why Postecoglou quite likes the former Juventus man as allied with his quality in the top end of the pitch, he also works his socks off out of possession.
However, over the last few weeks, Kulusevski has perhaps fallen short of the high standards he has set for himself, with the 23-year-old falling out of the starting eleven against Everton last weekend, only to return against Brighton.
Dejan Kulusevski is a creative force for Tottenham
Sqawka’s stats suggest that the attacker is very much still undervalued by Spurs fans, with the data analysis platform revealing that the Tottenham winger has created 46 chances from open play this season, the joint most alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.

This is certainly a very impressive stat and shows the kind of quality that Kulusevski possesses. I, like many Spurs fans, am guilty of not giving the Swede the credit he deserves at times as my expectations of him are very high, given the natural ability he possesses.
The 23-year-old can sometimes be a frustrating player to watch as should influence matches more than he does but there is no doubt that we have a special talent on our hands.
