Antonio Conte did not have a good finish as Tottenham manager, but developed a close relationship with several of the Tottenham players. Now the Napoli coach has pointed to the player he himself brought in to Spurs on loan from Juventus in 2022.
Dejan Kuluselvski went from a supporting role at Juventus to one of the main roles at the Premier League club. This season, Spurs have been down to their knees, the Swedish midfielder/winger still has 10 goals and 10 assists in 42 games. The 24-year-old is a player Spurs don’t want to lose, but now Napoli are aiming to persuade Napoli about their next stop and return to Serie A.

According to AreaNapoli, Conte is keen on a reunion with Kulusevski, with Napoli’s chief negotiator having already travelled to London for preliminary talks with Tottenham over a potential transfer.
It is never an easy task to negotiate with Spurs boss Daniel Levy, but there are reports from the ball island that the Swede has signalled he wants to leave Tottenham, so there could be an opening.
