Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic has stood out on loan at German club SV Hamburger.
Last summer, Luka Vuskovic officially arrived at Tottenham Hotspur after two years out on loan. Due to the presence of experienced defenders Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Kevin Danso, Spurs decided to let him join newly-promoted Bundesliga side SV Hamburger on a season-long loan, and the move has worked out very well.
Luka Vuskovic has been one of the standout players for SV Hamburger this season. He has contributed at both ends of the pitch. With five goals in 27 appearances, the big Croat has demonstrated what a big asset he is when it comes to attacking set-pieces.
Unsurprisingly, the Spurs talent’s impressive displays have caught the attention of several top clubs like Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Liverpool. Tottenham will have a decision to make on the teenager in the summer, especially with him attracting interest from top European clubs.
Alasdair Gold makes interesting claims on Luka Vuskovic’s Tottenham future
In a recent interview, Vuskovic refused to discuss the possibility of a summer exit from White Hart Lane, revealing that he will be a Spurs player again at the end of the season. The centre-back pointed to the contract he has at the club until 2030.
Now, reliable Football London journalist Alasdair Gold has provided an update on Vuskovic’s future. He claims that the teenager is likely to remain at the North London club, while he’s also set to become a ‘regular starter’ if they preserve their top-flight status next season.
Gold’s update on the highly rated Vuskovic should be a welcome one for Tottenham fans. With both Romero and Van de Ven being linked with moves away from N17, the Lilywhites potentially face the prospect of rebuilding their defence in the summer. If not both, either one of them will depart at the end of the season, with the capital club not participating in Europe next term.
Vuskovic has shown maturity beyond his years in what has been a breakthrough campaign for him at a high level, and at 19, he has the potential to become the club’s face in the defensive part for the best part of the next five years, at least. The Split-born prodigy, who has been tipped for a bright future by Croatian legend Luka Modric, possesses the skill-set to thrive in Roberto De Zerbi’s system.
The second-most valuable player at the club, the Hotspur Way chiefs must do everything possible to keep Vuskovic. The Croatian international will want to be playing regular football at a high level and competing with the best players, and the potential departure of Romero could give Vuskovic the ideal platform to establish himself as a regular at Tottenham next season.
