Tottenham Hotspur star Dejan Kulusevski has taken a swipe at Arsenal's title hopes

Tottenham Hotspur star Dejan Kulusevski showed his true colours regarding Arsenal's Premier League title hopes this season. The Swedish international was asked whether it would be a fact or 'cap' if the Gunners would win the top-flight title.

The 25-year-old wasted no time in taking a dig at Spurs' arch-rivals, quashing any suggestion of Mikel Arteta's side ending their wait for a Premier League title.

Speaking to popular YouTuber Chunkz for Sport Bible - who also happens to be a big Arsenal fan - Kulusevski said: "Cap! And put that on my name."

Chunkz replied: "I can't wait for when it happens. You know I'm going to Facetime you laughing?"

"Please do," Kulusevski said. "I will find you when they don't."

Kulusevski has not featured for Tottenham this season after picking up a knee injury back in May of 2025. He missed the Europa League triumph in Bilbao over Man United and is yet to play for Thomas Frank.

Speaking earlier this month, Frank said: "We know it's a complicated injury. If there's one person who can accelerate that, it's Dejan. He's a top pro and has got a top mentality. The most important thing is to remove the pain in the knee.

"He got an injection to help that 10 days ago. We know in three to four weeks if it's settled and when it's settled, hopefully, he’ll be on the grass and from there, we’ll see what’s happening."

Frank will be hoping to have one of his most dangerous players back fit, with the Swedish star one of Spurs' brightest in an otherwise disappointing campaign.

Kulusevski made 50 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring ten goals and notching another 11 goal contributions in terms of assists.

As for Spurs' arch-rivals Arsenal, they were beaten by Manchester United 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium in their last outing, meaning Manchester City and Aston Villa are now just four points behind Arteta's side.

The Gunners had taken the lead through a Lisandro Martinez own goal, but Michael Carrick's men responded with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu.

Mikel Merino equalised for the hosts in the 84th minute, before Matheus Cunha scored the winner in the 87th minute to take all three points.

Arsenal have not won in their last three games with draws against Nottingham Forest and Liverpool, with title rivals City and Villa also dropping points.

The Gunners were unable to take advantage and have seen their lead at the top of the table cut to just four points.

Omar Marmoush has been linked with a move away from Manchester City in the January transfer window just one year after moving to the Premier League

Omar Marmoush is reportedly keen to remain in the Premier League should he depart Manchester City during the January transfer window amid interest from Tottenham.

The 26-year-old's future at the Etihad Stadium has been a topic of speculation since the arrival of Antoine Semenyo. Pep Guardiola strengthened his attacking line-up for the second half of the season with the £64million acquisition of Semenyo.

The Ghanaian international has made an impressive start at the Citizens, netting three goals in his first four appearances across all competitions. This has cast uncertainty over Marmoush's position at the club, despite him scoring upon his return to the starting XI in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Wolves.

The forward has been linked with a move to Fenerbahce since the transfer window opened, and recent reports from Turkey have shed light on their interest. Turkish publication Sabah has reported that Fenerbahce are in talks with City and are prepared to offer €30m (£26m) to bring Marmoush, who has also been linked with Spurs, to the Super Lig.

However, the report suggests that Marmoush would rather stay in the Premier League, with Tottenham and Aston Villa showing interest, although the player himself prefers a loan move. With Villa nearing the completion of a deal for Tammy Abraham, this could give Spurs the upper hand in securing the forward's signature this month, though Fenerbahce's eagerness to finalise a deal presents a significant challenge, reports the Express.

Both Spurs and Villa are searching for attacking reinforcements before the January transfer window closes. Thomas Frank's side have already secured Conor Gallagher this month, but with Richarlison sidelined through injury, Dominic Solanke remains their sole recognised centre-forward option.

Meanwhile, one attacking target that won't be heading to Spurs is Brazilian prospect Rayan, who is currently undergoing a medical at Bournemouth ahead of a £30m move.
