Kulusevski speeding case adjourned

Tottenham winger Dejan Kulusevski's sentencing for speeding has been adjourned because magistrates were unclear if he had requested the hearing to be postponed. The Sweden international, 26, was caught driving at 43mph in a 30mph zone within the Limehouse Link tunnel last September.

The player already has 18 points on his driving licence and is at risk of a driving ban. In an email sent to Barkingside Magistrates' Court, Kulusevski stated he could not attend a hearing on Monday due to training commitments following a year out due to injury. He also indicated that his young family depended on him for transport.

Presiding magistrate Mary Millar informed the court that the bench was not clear from the email whether an adjournment was being requested. However, an adjournment was granted until 19 October. Kulusevski acknowledged that most of his previous offences involved exceeding the speed limit by a small margin but accepted he had been speeding again.

The former Juventus player, who missed last season and the 2026 World Cup with a knee injury, now faces the possibility of losing his licence.
