Fabio Paratici he revealed he and Antonio Conte were always confident Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski would settle in quickly at Tottenham after arriving in January.
The pair linked up with Spurs on transfer deadline day from Juventus and have had an immediate impact on making things happen in the club’s pursuit for a top four spot.
Swedish winger Kulusevski, who netted his first Spurs goal on his full Premier League debut against Manchester City last month, has developed a strong relationship with Harry Kane and Heung-min Son which has caused defences issues of late.
Meanwhile, Bentancur has slotted in comfortably next to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the absence of Oliver Skipp and has kept things moving in the centre of the pitch.
But their quick impact has not come as a surprise to Tottenham managing director of football Paratici, who says both he and Conte fully understood their strengths from their time in Serie A.
He told Spurs TV: “We know, me and Antonio, we know these players very well because me I was in Juve before and Antonio because he was in Italy, so he knows very well the players. We know that the character and mentality and the style of these kind of players would be right for us.
“So their adaptation was really really quick. So this was really the news, because normally some players need time to adapt, to adapt to the Premier League, to England, whatever, so for Rodrigo and Deki it was really, really quick.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Bentancur and Kulusevski have been a breath of fresh air for Tottenham and they have given the side a slightly different look, which is a big testament to their impact so far.
Coming from a different league with a slower style of play to the Premier League is not an easy task and they have managed that so well to their credit.
