Tottenham manager Postecoglou talks up Kulusevski and Skipp

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou believes there is so much more to come from a key winger.

The Australian was asked about the impact of Dejan Kulusevski and whether he is operating at his peak form.

Postecoglou told reporters: “I hope not, I think there's more to come with Deki, he's still fairly young age-wise as well. I've been really pleased with him because he's played a number of positions for us.

“One of the reasons we're getting through this period is guys who've been willing to sort of take on different roles, whether it's him, Ben Davies, Emerson Royal, guys who've had to played different positions for us at different times. Irrespective of the position Deki has been a real impact player for us the whole season, whether that's out wide...I really like him playing inside, it gives us another dimension is terms of our attacking threats."

Postecoglou then went on to praise central midfielder Oliver Skipp, admitting he could be useful as a no.6.

He added: “Most of the time he has been coming on in games where we need some energy further up the park and that's the role he has fulfilled, but he can play at six and probably will play there.

“We have three games over the next week so he probably will get an opportunity at some point in that position and with Biss [Yves Bissouma] being away pretty much until the end of January, I am sure we will use him in that space."
