Luka Vuskovic is generating plenty of loan interest ahead of the new season, but a new report has revealed why Tottenham Hotspur are not in a hurry to decide on the centre-back’s future.
Vuskovic had already amassed a big reputation when Tottenham paid £12m to sign him from Hajduk Split two years ago, and since then, his development has only further served to cement his reputation as one of the best young centre-backs in European football.
The 18-year-old had an outstanding season on loan at Westerlo in 2024-25 and on the back of his performances in Belgium, Vuskovic was handed his first senior cap for Croatia in their 5-1 World Cup qualification win over the Czech Republic earlier this month.
Reports over recent weeks have claimed that Bundesliga clubs are showing interest in landing Vuskovic on loan, but a new update has revealed why Tottenham are not in a hurry to decide on the youngster’s future.
Thomas Frank wants to run the rule over Vuskovic this summer
The Mirror have claimed that not only clubs from Germany but also clubs from Belgium and France have expressed an interest in a temporary deal for the centre-back.
In fact, it is revealed that Club Brugge and Hamburg have even contacted Vuskovic’s representatives to gauge the player’s interest in a season-long loan.
However, Spurs are not in a rush to make a decision on the 18-year-old and have refused to rule out the possibility of the youngster being a part of their first-team plans.
