Dejan Kulusevski faces driving ban for speeding as court case continues
Summary

Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski faces a potential six-month driving ban after pleading guilty to a speeding offence. The 26-year-old was clocked by a camera driving 43mph in a 30mph zone through the Limehouse Link tunnel on September 28 last year. Metropolitan Police submitted that the incident pushed the Swedish international to 12 penalty points on his licence. In an email sent to the court, the player requested that his situation be treated with leniency, citing the need to drive his family to medical appointments and his requirement to travel home late at night following away matches. Kulusevski, who recently returned to training after missing all of last season and the 2026 World Cup due to injury, argued that a disqualification would cause exceptional hardship. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 21 at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court to address the plea and the potential ban.
