Tottenham beat Manchester City 4-0 at the weekend in what was a spellbinding performance.
Spurs were unbelievable at the Etihad on Saturday, and, once again, the man of the hour was Dejan Kulusevski.
Kulusevski earned serious praise for his performance against City at the weekend, and speaking on The Weekend Wrap, Tim Sherwood has spoken about the midfielder and his brilliance this season.
Sherwood says that Kulusevski has everything as a player, while he also noted just how big the Swede is.
Indeed, Sherwood says that alongside his technical attributes, he’s been blown away by how big the £25m man is when he’s seen him up close.
Tim Sherwood blown away by Dejan Kulusevski’s height
Sherwood spoke highly of Kulusevski, claiming that it’s remarkable just how big the Sweden international is.
The pundit says that Kulusevski would be an absolute nightmare to play against.
“He has everything. He must really be enjoying this role under Postecoglou, he drifts, he’s so strong, when you get up close to him he’s 6ft 3 or 6 ft 4. He’s strong, quick, he can dribble, he would be my worst nightmare, I would hate to play against him,” Sherwood said.
Who are Tottenham’s tallest players?
Kulusevski isn’t a player known for his stature, but, as Sherwood says, he is a big lad.
Kulusevski often gets teased for his poor aerial ability compared to his height, and it’s not hard to understand why.
The midfielder wins just 0.3 aerial duels per game despite the fact he stands at 6 ft 2.
Tottenham’s tallest players Height Fraser Forster 6 ft 7 Guglielmo Vicario 6 ft 4 Micky van de Ven 6 ft 4 Radu Dragusin 6 ft 3 Dominic Solanke 6 ft 2 Rodrigo Bentancur 6 ft 2 Dejan Kulusevski 6 ft 1 Destiny Udogie 6 ft 1 Brennan Johnson 6 ft 1 Cristian Romero 6 ft 1
Tottenham actually have a very tall squad, which is rather surprising considering Tottenham have had issues from set-pieces.
Indeed, set plays have been a big problem for Tottenham in recent times, but when you have a squad this tall, there shouldn’t be these kinds of persistent issues.
Hopefully, Ange Postecoglou can find a way to combat the set-piece issues, because that is one issue that is stopping Spurs from challenging at the very highest level.
