Di Mazio: Kulu can succeed at Tottenham And did not expect Vlahović to join Juve in January

As a transfer expert in international football, Di Marzio has a deep understanding of the transfer market. In an interview with Wettfreunde.net, Di Marzio talked about two of the more important deals in the past transfer window, that is, Tottenham Hotspur signed Kulusevsky and Vlahovic joined Juve.

About Kulusevsky joining Tottenham

I think Tottenham's signing of Kulusevsky is a good deal for two reasons, first, Kulusevsky met Palatic. During his time at Atalanta, Kurushevsky knew Palatic, who is now Tottenham's sporting director. Palatic was the first to recognize the potential of the Swedes and brought him to Atlanta.

Second, Conte is certainly the right person to give Kulusevsky the right place in the team's show system, which is the problem the Swede has encountered so far. At Juve, Kulusevsky was placed in the pseudo-nine position, which made him uncomfortable. Conte will observe his performance during training and place him in the right position.

Conte's coaching was also good for Kulusevsky's personal development. During his time at Juve, Kulousevsky was not stable enough in playing time and it seemed that he was missing something. Kulusevsky needed a manager who would not only give him the right tactical role, but would also constantly motivate him to perform at the top.

For these reasons, I believe Kulusewski can succeed at Tottenham. Spurs also need young, hungry and talented players. I think in the future this is also the right strategy for them to get young players from other countries.

On an economic level, Spurs are also doing well. Instead of paying a lump sum of €45 million, they start by paying €10 million as a 1.5-year lease. During this time, they will find out whether Kulusevsky can come up with a top-level performance. If the Swede lives up to expectations, Spurs could buy him out for 35 million euros.

On why Vlahovic chose to stay in Serie A rather than join Arsenal

Vlahović has been successful in Fiorentina, he understands the Italian mentality and is comfortable in Italy, which is probably why he is reluctant to play in other countries. And, he certainly knows he can get a solid starting spot at Juve. In the past, in the case of Juve with Higuain or Cristiano Ronaldo, it was difficult for young strikers to have a head start. Of course, the decisive question is whether a striker can score enough goals.

Juve are still in the Champions League and at the top of the table in Serie A. Who knows if they will be able to create a miracle to win the First Division title? I think Vlahović has been thinking about joining Juve for a long time. What I didn't expect, though, was that the deal would take place in January instead of June. With Vlahović, Allegri's side will certainly make a lot of progress compared to last fall.
