Spurs are just one point off the drop zone, and have not won a Premier League game in 2026.Kulusevski is not culpable in Tottenham's disastrous season, having not played since last May due to a serious knee injury.
Tottenham's interim manager, Igor Tudor, said at the end of February that he was hopeful that Kulusevski would return before the end of the season, but he was not sure.READ MORE: Liverpool predicted team vs Galatasaray as Giorgi Mamardashvili one of 5 changesREAD MORE: Nnamdi Collins response to 'surprising' Liverpool transfer links speaks volumes“We hope so," Tudor said. "In this moment, we don’t know.”Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson thinks that the Sweden international could be a player of interest to his old club during the summer transfer window.Speaking to BOYLE Sports, which offers the latest football odds, Johnson said: "Dejan Kulusevski a replacement for Mohamed Salah?
You know, you've seen him sort of glide past them like they're not moving.Dejan Kulusevski remains out with a serious knee injury(Image: 2025 UEFA)"So he definitely has that ability that can create something out of nothing."That skill, you can't teach that. If they were to go down, and he was available on the cheap, then yeah, you could understand why someone would take a risk and why not Liverpool."Liverpool could be in the market for a new right-sided attacker this summer, with Salah's future at the club beyond this season looking uncertain.Salah is contracted to Liverpool until 2027, having signed a two-year extension last April, but his form has dipped dramatically and he could be sold in the summer.The Egyptian is Liverpool's highest-paid player, earning over half a million dollars each week, and has scored just five Premier League goals all season.Liverpool is expected to receive interest in Salah from clubs in the Saudi Pro League during the off-season.Salah remains the biggest-name player in the Arab world and would be able to command a monstrous contract in Saudi Arabia, despite his drop-off in form.Salah is yet to reach double figures for goals for Liverpool this season, after tallying 34 last term, but he has scored in the last two games, both of which were against Wolves.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Mohamed SalahTransfersLiverpool FC
