Tottenham Hotspur have held negotiations with Hamburg about a loan move for defender Luka Vuskovic.
No deal is imminent and Vuskovic travelled on Saturday to the Etihad Stadium for Spurs’ Premier League game against Manchester City, but Hamburg are keen on signing the 18-year-old centre-half to reinforce their squad following promotion back to the Bundesliga.
The German club have held talks directly with Tottenham and are hopeful of finding an agreement.
Vuskovic agreed his transfer from Hajduk Split to Tottenham in 2023 in a deal worth around £12m, with Spurs fending off interest from other European clubs to secure his signing. FIFA regulations meant he did not officially join the club until 2025, after turning 18.
Vuskovic featured for Thomas Frank’s side in pre-season and was an unused substitute for the UEFA Super Cup final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain and victory over Burnley in their Premier League opener.
The Croatia international spent last season on loan with Westerlo, in the Belgian Pro League, having had a loan spell at Polish side Radomiak Radom during the second half of 2023-24.
A move to Hamburg would also reunite Vuskovic with his older brother, Mario, 23, who moved to the Volksparkstadion in 2021, but who is currently serving a four-year doping ban, due to expire in 2026.
