DEJAN KULUSEVSKI has reportedly been offered to Newcastle as Tottenham face the possibility of missing out on their loan star.

The Swedish forward, 23, joined Spurs on an 18-month loan from Juventus in January 2022.

Within the deal was a £29million obligation to buy providing the Lilywhites qualified for the Champions League.

"Now of course I have to talk to the club and then we’ll see what happens."
