Kulusevski, 23, is Ange Postecoglou's first signing since being announced as boss earlier this month.

He was also part of Antonio Conte's first joint-transfer as Tottenham manager, when he arrived on his initial loan deal alongside Rodrigo Bentancur in January 2022.

The attacker particularly impressed during his first six months at Spurs, scoring five goals and laying on eight assists during the second half of the 2022-23 season.

Kulusevski has made 57 appearances in total for the Lilywhites.

He initially arrived on an 18-month loan from Juve, after 74 outings for the Serie A giants.

The deal reportedly contained an obligation to buy, should Tottenham qualify for the Champions League in the 2022-23 season.

After Spurs missed out on Europe entirely following a disastrous campaign, the door opened for Kulusevski to return to Juve.

Tottenham's obligation became an option to buy for £30million, although the North Londoners are claimed to have managed to negotiate this figure down to around £26m.
