Tottenham new boy Dejan Kulusevski reveals FIRST thing Antonio Conte told him was 'you can help us' as Juventus loanee admits the Spurs boss was 'really upset' after Southampton loss

Antonio Conte believes January signing Dejan Kulusevski can 'help' Tottenham salvage the season and judging by their defeat to Southampton, they need it.

A deadline day raid of Juventus was all Spurs managed during the January window, yielding £17m midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and Kulusevski – who joins on-loan with the option for a £30m permanent deal in the summer.

Spurs fans' disappointment in their January business piles more pressure on the duo but Kulusevski revealed his new manager – a former Juve supremo – believes he can make a difference.
