Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Vušković has been on loan Hamburg SV since the end of August. He’s played nine matches this season and has starred for the Bundesliga club.
The centre-back’s impressive displays were rewarded with a call up to Croatia’s senior team in October.
Zlatko Dalić has included the Tottenham man in his squad for the ongoing international break. He’s set to make his first start for the national team against Faroe Islands in a World Cup qualifier on Friday.
Ahead of the match, the 18-year-old attended a press conference on Tuesday and Novi List have relayed his comments. He expressed his delight at being called up and thanked Dalić for showing faith in him.
The defender has also talked about his loan spell with the German club. He’s delighted with the move and his performances. His future at the north London club, where he has a contract until 2030, still needs to be clarified.
Last month, Vušković expressed his desire to extend his stay at Hamburg beyond this season.
Hamburg haven’t secured a purchase option or obligation as part of the loan deal. As it stands, Vušković is contracted to return to Tottenham after his loan spell but is unsure about his future.
“I’m happy with everything at HSV. My grades are good, even above expectations. My teammates are great, everyone supports me and I have no bad words or criticism. I just need to keep going,” he said.
“Tottenham? I hear from them, they follow me. They are a good club when it comes to developing young players. I don’t know when I will be back.”
