Tottenham Hotspur will be welcoming a new defender to Hotspur Way this summer who has been comparing himself to Josko Gvardiol.
Thomas Frank will be casting an eye over his Spurs squad during pre-season, and his new central defender could quickly become an option.
Cristian Romero’s future remains unclear, therefore, the Danish head coach might need to find players capable of stepping up.
The North London club have many exciting young players, but arguably the most promising talent is yet to come with their £12 million signing soon expected to arrive through the doors at Hotspur Way.
Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic compares himself to Josko Gvardiol
Tottenham Hotspur defender Luka Vuskovic has compared himself to Josko Gvardiol, but admitted the Man City player is his ‘role model’.
Recently, Vuskovic made his debut for Croatia in the senior team as he came on to partner the £77m Man City defender in the closing stages against the Czech Republic.
Vuskovic told HDTV via 24sata: “My defensive role model is Joško Gvardiol. He’s an animal, I’ve never seen that in my life, he’s like an alien.
“We have similarities, but when you see him, you’re shocked at how good he is. We work well together, he solves problems, and I help, ha, ha!”
Despite only being 18, the defender already has 61 senior appearances under his belt, having featured in the first team for Hajduk Split, Radomiak and Westerlo.
Now, he is preparing for life in North London at Tottenham, where he could feature under new manager, Thomas Frank.
Luka Vuskovic on joining Tottenham this summer
Vuskovic has revealed that he is in ‘frequent contact’ with Tottenham ahead of his move to N17, two years on from making the transfer.
Back in 2023, Tottenham paid £12m to sign Vuskovic from Hajduk Split before sending him out on two different loan spells.
Tottenham think Vuskovic’s potential is huge and are very excited to take a look at him closer during pre-season at Hotspur Way.
“I’m in frequent contact with the club. It won’t be official until July 1st. I’ve already been on two loans, but that’s the path of every footballer,” Vuskovic added.
“Tottenham is a miracle! The stadium is brutal, everything is state-of-the-art, the camp has “a hundred” pitches. It’s a completely different world. I haven’t had the chance to train with the first team yet, but I’ll meet all the players soon.”
