Tottenham Hotspur are making it clear that they plan to bring Luka Vuskovic back from his loan at Hamburg this summer.
Vuskovic has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich, given how good the young Croatian defender has been in the Bundesliga this term.
💰 If Bayern Munich come knocking for Luka Vuskovic this summer, WHAT FIGURE should Tottenham demand?
Over the weekend, Vuskovic was praised by Lothar Matthaus following his Man of the Match performance and goal against Bayern.
The 18-year-old is one of the finest young talents in Europe right now, but the North London club are adamant that his future remains in the English capital.
Tottenham want to keep Luka Vuskovic
Tottenham Hotspur are very unlikely to entertain offers for Luka Vuskovic this summer, Florian Plettenberg reports.
Bayern Munich are among the top European clubs that are closely monitoring his situation, but Spurs do not want to sell him anytime soon.
The German media were so impressed by Vuskovic’s performance against Harry Kane, as the former Spurs star struggled against the defender.

Croatian legend Ivan Rakitic has recently urged his fellow countryman to sign for the Bavarian club and insists he can become the best defender in the world.
Speaking to Sky Germany, he said: “All of football Europe is talking about him right now. FC Bayern needs to step up their game.
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?
“I believe the boy has to go to FC Bayern. It’s incredibly wonderful to see that such a young guy can shake up the football world like this.”
Vuskovic is keen to stay at Hamburg for another season and get the chance to play alongside his brother, Mario. His brother is currently serving a ban from football, but is due to return in November.
Luka Vuskovic could replace Micky van de Ven or Cristian Romero
Right now, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero’s futures at Spurs are unclear, and next summer, a replacement for either could well be required.
Although Tottenham would want £125 million to sell Van de Ven, meanwhile, Romero has only just signed a new deal, making departures for others seem unlikely.
