A Tottenham Hotspur defender has managed to more than double his transfer market value due to his performances this season.
It will come as no surprise to Spurs fans that the two most valuable players currently in their squad, as per Transfermarkt, are Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
It can be argued that they are the only two world-class players in the Spurs squad at present, and even Jamie Carragher has admitted that he would love to have Tottenham’s centre-backs at Liverpool.
However, another Lilywhite defender has seen his value shoot up this season courtesy of his performances out on loan.
Luka Vuskovic is among Tottenham’s most valuable players
Luka Vuskovic is being tipped to become one of the best centre-backs in the world over the coming years, and one certainly would not bet against that, based on his growth at Hamburg.
As per Transfermarkt, the 18-year-old has seen his value shoot from €18m up to €40m (£35m), which is the fourth-highest upgrade of any player across the world this cycle.
Only Bayern Munich’s Lennart Karl, Real Madrid’s Arda Guler and RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande have seen their value rise by higher figures this season.
