Tottenham Hotspur's Dejan Kulusevski sets out to break a Premier League assist record when his side take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday lunchtime.

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Dejan Kulusevski will be out to break a Premier League assist record when his side welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to North London on Saturday lunchtime.

The Juventus loanee has taken no time at all to settle into life in the English capital, scoring three goals and setting up six more in 11 Premier League appearances for Antonio Conte's side.

Nine of Kulusevski's 11 Premier League appearances have come from the first whistle, and the 21-year-old has claimed all six assists in top-flight games that he has started.

Should Kulusevski start and bag at least one more assist on Saturday, he will become the first player in Premier League history to set up at least seven goals in his first 10 starts in the competition.

No player has registered more than six assists in their first 10 Premier League starts, and only Kulusevski's teammate Harry Kane has also chalked up six league assists since his winter arrival.

Tottenham head into the weekend three points clear of North London rivals Arsenal in fourth spot, and manager Conte is expected to be on the touchline despite a recent bout of COVID-19.
