The initial expectations are that Tottenham would send him on another loan, preferably in lower leagues in English football; however, John Wenham, the owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, believes that the club will take a look at him along the pre-season next summer before making a decision about his future.

He also insists that Vušković’s short-term future would end up depending on which tier of European football Tottenham plays next season.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, Wenham said:

“I think they’ll definitely look at him in preseason before a decision is made. I’ve previously suggested that I thought Vušković would join a Championship club on loan. However, they looked at Lucas Bergvall and decided he was ready for the first team.

“It also depends on what European competition we’re playing next season. Should we end up in the Europa League, Spurs might decide to keep him around and establish him in the first team by using that competition.

“Should we qualify for the Champions League, they might send him out on loan. However, if he impresses in pre-season, who knows what could happen.”
