Football icon Lothar Matthaus has been raving about the potential of Tottenham Hotspur loanee Luka Vuskovic.
Vuskovic was outstanding against Bayern Munich, as the defender helped Hamburg to clinch a 2-2 draw against the German champions.
True or false: Luka Vuskovic will be starting for Tottenham next season…
Will he take Van de Ven or Romero's spot in the team?
