Tottenham haven’t won the league since 1961 and haven’t made such a good league start since then. There have been seven wins and two draws since the opener in August and the London side lead by two points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal. Kulusevski sees Tottenham as a team that is at the top to stay.
– Absolutely, as long as we work hard for each other and are humble and fight for each other and respect each other, we’ll see how it goes, says Kulusevski to Radiosporten.
Can you challenge Manchester City?
– Yes absolutely. We are there right now and the idea is that we should continue like this, thinks Kulusevski.

Before the season, icon Harry Kane left Tottenham to try his luck at Bayern Munich. Tottenham have filled the gap with goalscorers and goals yesterday by Son Heung-min and James Maddison, his first in front of the home fans, take the team to 20 goals so far.
Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher describes Maddison as the Premier League’s most significant player. Tottenham’s new coach, the tough Ange Postecoglou, brought in from Celtic, brings the team down to earth.
– I was really disappointed with the second half and our game with the ball. We were nowhere near the levels we have been at all year. It’s probably the worst 45 minutes we’ve done all year, says the Greek, who quickly became loved by the fans, to the BBC.
