Hope for Tottenham: Di Marzio Confirms Kulusevski's Commitment Amid Crisis

Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has provided a rare glimmer of hope for Tottenham Hotspur supporters, revealing that Dejan Kulusevski is set to remain at the club next season, even if the unthinkable happens and Spurs are relegated to the Championship. The North London side currently sits in 18th place with just six games remaining to save their top-flight status. Following a disastrous 1-0 defeat to Sunderland in Roberto De Zerbi’s debut last Sunday, the pressure has reached a boiling point at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. While a mass exodus of stars this summer is expected, Di Marzio believes the Swedish international is committed to the project. Di Marzio: Kulusevski “definitely” staying Speaking to bettingsidor.se via Football London, Di Marzio emphasized that Kulusevski’s character makes him the ideal candidate to lead a potential rebuild. He stated: “I definitely think Kulusevski will stay at Tottenham, even if they get relegated. He is a good example for other players and Roberto De Zerbi likes him. He has the right mentality, so I think Kulusevski can be one of the most important players for their project, regardless if they are in the Premier League or the Championship.” Di Marzio further noted that De Zerbi will actively try to retain him, appreciating players with a strong identity and personality. Kulusevski’s Injury Struggles The endorsement is particularly significant given that the 25-year-old has endured a “nightmare” season on the sidelines. Kulusevski has not played a single minute of competitive football since May 2025 after suffering a severe right kneecap injury against Crystal Palace. After a secondary minor operation in March 2026 to clean up the joint, the winger is finally nearing a return to fitness, though he is unlikely to feature before the end of the current campaign. When fit, his quality is undeniable. He contributed with 10 goals and 11 assists last season, helping Spurs to a historic Europa League trophy. Overall, in 146 games for the club, he has scored 25 and assisted another 30, earning praise from figures like Pep Guardiola. If Kulusevski stays in the event of relegation, he will play a massive role in the fight for a return to the top tier next season.
