Juventus FC splash the cash to sign Dejan Kulusevski from Atalanta

19-year old Dejan Kulusevski has spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan with Parma from parent club Atalanta. The Swedish winger has scored four goals so far this season, which also included a stunning strike in a 2-2 draw against Bologna. Due to his phenomenal displays in Serie A in his debut season, Juventus FC have moved quickly to secure his signature in the January transfer window. He will stay on loan at Parma for the rest of the season.

One might be wondering why Juventus spent €35 million (with €9m in add-ons) on a relatively new player in the Serie A. One look at Dejan Kulusevski's stats for the 2019-20 season and you will know the answer to that question. Dejan Kulusevski currently ranks second in terms of assists (7), key passes (18) and distance run per game (12 km) in the Italian top-flight. With a tally of four goals and seven assists, the former Atalanta man is directly involved in 46% of Parma’s goals this term. In addition to that, Dejan Kulusevski is able to drop back for his team where his physicality and dynamism allows him to steal the ball. It's a trait that Juventus will look to use next season.
