Roberto De Zerbi reveals where he plans to play Dejan Kulusevski as the Swede closes in on a return

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has revealed that he prefers Dejan Kulusevski playing as a No.10 as the Swedish international edges closer to his long-awaited return from injury.

Kulusevski has been sidelined for more than 500 days following a serious knee injury suffered in May 2025, leaving Spurs without one of their most creative attacking players.

However, the 26-year-old has recently returned to full team training, raising hopes that his comeback is finally approaching. Ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League clash against Manchester United, De Zerbi has now outlined how he intends to use Kulusevski when he returns to competitive action.
