Singing on an initial loan deal from Juventus during the January window of 2022, Kulusevski became a permanent part of the North London furniture in July 2023.

Since then, the Swedish attacker became part of history for the Lilywhites, who ended their 17-year trophy drought by lifting the Europa League last season.

During his permanent spell at the club, Kulusevski has scored over 15 competitive goals, playing alongside the likes of Son Heung-min and all-time leading marksman Harry Kane.

Focusing on the modern day, the winger is part of Thomas Frank's Spurs side, who are on a mission to compete in the upper echelons of the Premier League.

As expected for an exciting attacking star, Kulusevski has been rewarded with his own chant by the Tottenham Hotspur faithful.

For all the key information on the Dejan Kulusevski chant, we have you covered below.

Dejan Kulusevski chant, lyrics and tune

The Dejan Kulusevski is sung to the tune of ABBA's ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)', the song also used as the base in Nottingham Forest's chant for former player Anthony Elanga.

There's not a soul out there,

No one to hear my prayers,

Gimme gimme gimme a ginger from Sweden,

He came from Juventus and he plays on the wing,

Gimme gimme gimme a ginger from Sweden,

Number 21 his name is Kulusevski

Dejan Kulusevski chant background

The chant for Kulusevski first surfaced in March 2022, just a few months after he signed for Tottenham on a temporary deal from Juventus during the 2021-22 term.

An iconic band in Swedish music, ABBA are the inspiration behind the chant, with the 25-year-old linked to the group by his nationality.

FGG says: A safe invention

Given Kulusevski links to Sweden and by extension famous pop group ABBA, this rendition of ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!' is a safe bet for Tottenham supporters.

It is slightly inventive in the terms of coming up with new lyrics to fit with the 25-year-old, however the template is becoming commonplace around Swedish players in the Premier League.
