Tottenham attacker Dejan Kulusevski feels he can replace injured teammate James Maddison.

The Swede stepped up in defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.

"I felt so good today, I felt like the real Dejan," he said after the 2-1 loss. "I felt like myself today and the coach decided where to put me. I enjoyed and I had real fun playing today. It was a great day for me."

Asked if he can step up in Maddison's absence, Kulusevski added: "Absolutely. I've done it all my life so it's nothing new to me. Of course in the second half I played right wing but I felt good.

"Physically I feel really good so I'm happy and I know I'm on the right path to make better and continue to play like this."
