Antonio Conte is impressed with Dejan Kulusevski's 'fantastic' start to his Tottenham career

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is excited about the potential of Dejan Kulusevski after the Sweden international continued his strong start to life at the club.

The 21-year-old joined Tottenham on deadline day of the January transfer window after the club failed to sign either one of Luis Diaz or Adama Traore.

However, the midfielder - who joined on an 18-month loan from Juventus - has hit the ground running as he notched a fifth assist during the 5-1 rout of Newcastle.

He has also scored twice and formed a deadly partnership with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, with the trio having a combined total of 27 goal contributions in the last eight Premier League games.
