Dejan Kulusevski has shared that his coaches and his teammates are always asking him to attack the ball better in the box, which is why he was over the moon with his equaliser at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Kulusevski is reportedly a very popular member of the changing room, with The Athletic describing the 23-year-old as a ‘player’s player’ last week due to his selfless nature and the way he works for the side in and out of possession.
If there is perhaps one complaint that Spurs fans have about the Swede, it is that a player of his quality should make more of an impact in the final third.

Kulusevski highlights area of his game to improve
The winger did that in dramatic fashion at the weekend against Manchester City in the 90th minute as he outmuscled Nathan Ake and got on the end of Brennan Johnson’s cross to turn it into the far-corner past Ederson, who was rooted to his spot.
Replays showed that it was not a particularly clean contact by Kulusevski but the Tottenham attacker is just delighted to have got something on the ball after what he has heard from Ange Postecoglou and his teammates.
He told Spurs Play about his equalising goal: “I like how shocked I was. So, here’s the story. I think I have to improve to attack the box.
“Every day, not only the coach, but every player in the team kills me for it. So I went in, I attacked the ball and the rest just happened. I didn’t even see the goal because I was on the floor.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Hopefully, the floodgates would now open for Kulusevski on the back of that goal as we cannot just rely solely on Son to get us the goals, with James Maddison still a while away from returning to action.
