5 Tottenham Hotspur players with the least minutes played in the 2021-22 season
Spurs were constantly involved in conversations around the football fraternity ahead of the 2021/22 season. Harry Kane x Manchester City rumors and the appointment of a new coach made Tottenham a hot subject during the break.
However, the club failed to carry the same heat in their performances and they are now enduring one of the worst forms in recent years. The club currently sit 5th in the league table and are three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
The club wasn't that active during the transfer window and has acquired just five players and three loanees. Antonio Conte is doing his best to bring the club back to winning ways. He is trying various permutations and combinations and thus, paving the way for many players to achieve playing time.
On the same note, let's check out five Tottenham Hotspur players with the least minutes played in the 2021-22 season.
5. Dejan Kulusevski - 809
An established product at Juventus, Dejan Kulusevski joined the London outfit in January 2022 as a loanee. Tottenham also have a provision to make the deal permanent. The Sweden international marked his debut on February 5th against Brighton in an FA Cup fixture.
In just two months of joining the club, Kulusevski has already made 11 appearances across all competitions for Spurs. He has registered nine Premier League appearances. Dejan Kulusevski has turned out to be an important player within the ranks of the club and a trusted associate of head coach Conte.
The former Juventus midfielder is a regular starter for The Lillywhites. In his two months at the club, he has already surpassed many existing players in terms of minutes played this season.
✍️ We are delighted to announce the signing of Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus, subject to international clearance and a work permit.
Welcome to Tottenham, Dejan! 🇸🇪
4. Bryan Gil - 756
Before becoming a crucial part of the Valencia team, Bryan Gil was a regular cameo for Tottenham Hotspur until January 2022. He played over 20 games for the Londoners and accumulated 756 playing minutes for them in the 2021-22 season.
Bryan Gil enjoyed more playing minutes in the EFL and the Europa League as compared to the Premier League. He joined the Premier League outfit from Sevilla as part of an exchange deal which saw Erik Lamela move the other way.
He is now a loanee at Valencia and is enjoying more game time. With age on his side, it is expected that Bryan Gil will have a bright future with the London-based club.
A very tidy start for Bryan Gil. ⚡️ https://t.co/hmbjGivTEr
