Key player in Tottenham and the Swedish national team.
Now 22-year-old Dejan Kulusevski is being hailed as Lead of the Year.
– He says my year in the Premier League has been fantastic.
On December 27, Sportbladet will broadcast the 2022 Football Festival. Swedish football stars will be in attendance and efforts will be celebrated, and now it’s time to announce the winner in the Striker of the Year category.
Best striker in 2022 is 22-year-old Dejan Kulusevski.
– I am very happy and proud to have won this award as the year begins, says the Tottenham star and continues:
Impressed in the Premier League
– First of all, I would like to thank my family, they gave me everything and the opportunity to succeed. Then I also want to thank my friends, team-mates and coaches – both Antonio Conte in the club team and Jean in the national team.
Kulusevski joined Tottenham from Juventus in January. In the big English club, the Swede impressed.
My year in the Premier League was great. I’m very happy and lucky to be at Tottenham and I’m incredibly looking forward to what we can achieve in the future, both in the club team and the national team, he says.
“The best feeling in the world”
Although he started on the wing in many matches, he was also allowed to play as a forward at Blågult. There was a great event when Kulusevski scored against Slovenia in the Nations League.
For me, the best thing this year is to play in the friends’ yard in the blue and yellow jersey in front of all the Swedish fans. It’s the best feeling in the world to be able to sing the national anthem with the crowd and I’m also looking forward to that in 2023, he says.
