Dejan Kulusevski

Dejan Kulusevski is a Swedish midfielder currently with Tottenham Hotspur, where his game is defined by tempo control, ball carrying, and the ability to connect both penalty areas. His role at Tottenham Hotspur has become an important marker in a career shaped by work rate, tactical intelligence, and responsibility in possession. For Sweden, he has become part of a Sweden squad looking to make its group-stage opportunity count and is asked to give the national team control between the boxes when tournament margins tighten. At World Cup 2026, the key question is whether Dejan Kulusevski can carry his club rhythm into the international stage, handle the physical tempo of the group, and deliver one or two decisive moments that change the shape of Sweden's campaign.
