Tottenham could save themselves millions of pounds by promoting Luka Vuskovic to their senior squad in the summer, rather than bringing in a new centre-back.
Vuskovic signed for Spurs back in 2023, with the north London club bringing in him from Hadjuk Split. The Croatian centre-back signed a deal until 2023, and he was sent out on loan at the beginning of the season after failing to break into the senior side after his initial arrival.
At the age of 18, it was no surprise that he wasn't trusted to be a regular for the senior squad, but he's now being given his opportunity in the Bundesliga by Hamburger SV. Despite his age, Vuskovic has made 17 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, and has even found the back of the net on four ocassions.
Tottenham Must Promote Vuskovic Next Season
Tottenham will already be preparing for the summer transfer window, and they'll be hoping some of their key stars don't plan on heading through the exit door. Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are two players who have been linked with a departure, and it would feel like a disaster for Spurs fans if they both departed.
One player who would soften the blow of losing the centre-back duo is Vuskovic. The 18-year-old centre-back is already proving to be one of the best centre-backs in the Bundesliga, despite his age, and after a full season of development, he's going to return to Tottenham an even better player.
The Croatian youngster is already being tipped to become one of the best in the world, and ENIC could save themselves millions by giving Vuskovic a chance heading into the 2026/2027 season, rather than spending hefty amounts of money on a new centre-back.
Everyone is Talking About Vuskovic
Vuskovic is receiving rave reviews in the Bundesliga, and it's almost unheard of in terms of the level he's producing at the age of 18. Tottenham simply have to give him a chance in the senior squad in the summer, especially as they have struggled over the last two seasons.
Speaking on the defender, former Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic, who has worked with some of the best players in football history, has suggested that 'everyone is talking about' Vuskovic, and he could go on to become one of the best in the world.
