Luka Vuskovic is continuing to make a name for himself during his latest loan spell away from Tottenham.
The youngster is spending the season in the Bundesliga with newly-promoted outfit Hamburg, where he has already made a huge impression during the early stages of the season.
Tottenham have the option to recall Vuskovic in January if they suffer severe injury concerns at the heart of their defence, but the current suggestion is that he will be allowed to see out the duration of the season in Germany.
Thomas Frank and Co. will have been playing close attention to his progress in recent weeks, and they may have just been put on red alert by comments that he has just made.
Tottenham to be concerned by Luka Vuskovic’s Real Madrid claim
Tottenham will be delighted with how Vuskovic is progressing during his latest loan spell, and if he sustains his promising start to the season, then it is surely likely that he will play a part in the first-team squad in N17 next term.
MORE SPURS STORIES
The centre-back has already been part of two clean sheets for his loan club, and made history by scoring their first Bundesliga goal in 2688 days in their win over Heidenheim back in September.
The Lilywhites appear to have a future superstar on their hands with the Croatian, but they will now have serious concerns that he could be ready to jump ship in the future, after what he has just said away from North London.
Vuskovic was recently interviewed by the Croatian outlet Sport Klub, and revealed that he has always had a desire to one day play for Real Madrid, when asked if there was a club that he’s always wanted to play for.
“Well, Real Madrid is Real Madrid, but every club you play for is an honour and a privilege,” the defender said.
While the prospect of him leaving for such a challenge won’t be a concern for Tottenham at this moment in time, Vuskovic’s claim will have set the alarm bells ringing for them somewhat, as the indication is that he would be ready to step away if the prospect of a move to the Spanish capital ever arose.
He is a long way from that being a reality, but if he continues to develop on his current trajectory, then it may not be out of the question in the future.
Spurs have to integrate Luka Vuskovic into their plans next season
Several people connected to Tottenham wanted to see Vuskovic be a part of the first-team squad this season, after he turned out some impressive displays during the summer’s preparations.
While the possibility of exposure to the Premier League may have come too soon for the starlet this time around, he will surely be in line to start turning out for his parent club next term.
The Bundesliga is a challenging level of football, particularly for defenders, and at the moment, he is passing that test with flying colours.
Vuskovic has stepped up in level with each of his loan moves in the last few seasons, and the next logical step is surely for him to bridge that final gap to earn regular first-team minutes in North London.
