Owen Hargreaves issues Dejan Kulusevski warning to Tottenham
Ex-Manchester United star, Owen Hargreaves, has issued a stark warning – Tottenham must tread carefully or risk losing one of their standout stars, Dejan Kulusevski.
Tottenham Hotspur’s challenging season
The ongoing narrative at Tottenham Hotspur this season has been dominated by discussions of their injury woes and their inconsistent performances under Ange Postecoglou.
This has often led to the exceptional contributions of a select few players being overlooked, despite their efforts to keep Tottenham competitive amidst adversity.
Dominic Solanke, for instance, has enjoyed a remarkable debut season under Postecoglou, his pressing, his goals, the amount of minutes played and his linkup play, have been nothing but impressive.
The young duo of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall have been thrust into the spotlight this season and have not disappointed.
At just 18 years old, both players have displayed maturity beyond their years, contributing vital minutes and proving themselves capable of handling the intensity of Premier League football.
Another standout player, Dejan Kulusevski has been an irreplaceable figure for the club. Whether deployed on the right or in midfield, the Swedish international has delivered consistently excellent performances, combining elite work rate with outstanding technical ability.
His underlying statistics—progressive runs, chance creation, passing, and running metrics—stand up to scrutiny even when compared to Europe’s finest midfielders.
Owen Hargreaves warns Tottenham about Dejan Kulusevski
Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has offered a pointed warning to Tottenham, suggesting that their reliance on Dejan Kulusevski might backfire if the club does not take steps to secure his future.
Speaking during TNT Sports coverage, he said: “As good a squad as Tottenham have, if they are not careful they may lose Kulusevski. He is that good he can go and play anywhere.
“They are lucky that he and Solanke have been as consistent as they have this season, it is time for some of the other forward players to step up.”
Could Dejan Kulusevski leave Tottenham Hotspur?
While Kulusevski remains fully committed to Spurs at present, there is a risk that it could quickly change, if not now, then in the summer.
So far this window, there has been whispers of interest coming from Italy, stating that Napoli’s boss, Antonio Conte is keen on reuniting with the Swede, though no concrete offer thus far.
Even if Spurs resist selling the Swedish international this winter, the likelihood of offers coming in during the summer transfer window appears inevitable.
Tottenham’s history, particularly under Daniel Levy, has seen the club struggle to retain its brightest stars when significant bids have arrived.
If a £100 million bid materialises for Kulusevski in the summer, it raises serious questions about how the club would respond and whether they can convince the midfielder that staying in north London is the best decision for his career especially if the club fails to secure European football this season.
