Tottenham made two high profile signings in the just-closed transfer window in Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur and the question now is, when will we see them play?
Well, it has been confirmed by Standard Sport that Kulusevski has been granted his work permit and is now available to play against Brighton in the FA Cup at the weekend.
Dejan Kulusevski has been granted a work permit following his move from Juventus to Tottenham on deadline day.

Whether he will actually start against the Seagulls is open to question, the chances are that he will start on the bench but that decision will remain unknown until Antonio Conte picks the starting eleven.
Kulusevski is currently on loan at Spurs, however, under certain circumstances, there is an obligation to purchase and considering that certain positions on the team were not addressed in the January transfer window it is imperative that Kulusevski is seen as a successful signing.
There will also be a number of players returning from injury who could also feature in some form against Graham Potter’s men, including Heung Son-min.
The Tottenham players, in the main, have been rested and would be refreshed ahead of the FA Cup clash and that puts Conte in a position that he probably has not been before, a nearly fully fit and refreshed squad to choose from.
Regardless, it is still pleasing to know that Dejan Kulusevski is available to play at the weekend and I for one am excited to see him in action and what he can bring to the team as a whole.
