Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are the "right couple" to get Dejan Kulusevski back to his best at Tottenham.
That's according to Italian football expert, Gianluca Di Marzio, who has told Spurs supporters exactly what they can expect from the Sweden international after he secured a deadline day switch to north London from Juventus.
Kulusevski was surplus to requirements in Turin this season and Conte has now pounced on the opportunity to sign the Swedish winger, with the wide man securing a loan move on Monday afternoon.
Now, Di Marzio has opened up on the talents of Kulusevski and has told Tottenham supporters what to expect from their latest signing.
"Kulusevski is a very talented player. It's difficult to understand what his actual position is, but I think Antonio Conte is the best coach to understand how to put Kulusevski in the right system," Di Marzio said to Sky Sports News.
"He's an amazing player. Fabio Paratici was the sports director that brought him to Juventus. Antonio Conte wanted him, too, when he was at Inter Milan because over Christmas time, Inter and Juve were challenging each other to get Kulusevski.
"I think Antonio and Fabio are the right couple to get Kulusevski back to his level."
What has Kulusevski said?
Kulusevski has been speaking for the first time since being announced as Tottenham's latest signing and explained the career path that has led him here.
He said: "I think I have everything to do very well here. I’ve been at some teams in Italy, I’ve had a lot of different coaches, learned a lot from them, had a lot of players around me so I think I’m ready for the Premier League at this age and I can’t wait to play.
"At 15-and-a-half I moved to Atalanta in Bergamo. It was very hard, I missed my family so much, I still do these days, but at that age if I didn’t have the friends I had, it would be more difficult.
"I had a fantastic year at Parma, it was a one-year loan so I had one year to show everybody what I could do and I felt instantly after three or four games that I was getting comfortable, then after that I was just flying, I was just playing, didn’t think about anything, just enjoying my football, and it goes very well when you’re feeling good, so that’s how I want to be mentally and physically.
"I learned a lot at Juventus – it was two years but two intense years with two different coaches. It’s a very good club with very good players, I’d been playing with one of the best players in the world (Cristiano Ronaldo) so it was a very good experience.
"Now, here at Spurs, I’m excited to work with everybody. I know (Pierluigi) Gollini, I played with him in Atalanta, but I’m very much looking forward to working with the coach, because I know him from Inter.
"He’s a very good coach, he’s a winner and that’s what I want to be, so I want to learn as much as possible from him.
"Then with the players, there’s some very good players here and I want to collaborate with them a lot because that’s my playing style – I don’t play alone, I play with my team-mates, so I hope we can help each other a lot."
