Tottenham Hotspur youngster Luka Vuskovic is set to play for two national teams during the international break.
That’s according to BILD, who report the Tottenham youngster is set to appear for Croatia’s youth side and senior side.
He’s been impressing with HSV Hamburg this season after joining on loan from Tottenham in the summer transfer window. In fact, he’s the ‘most combative player’ in the Bundesliga. No other player has won more duels than the 18-year-old.
He’s already made his debut for Croatia’s senior side. And the plan is for him to make his second against the Faroe Islands on Friday.
After that, he is then going to travel with the U21 team to Hungary for the European Championship qualifier. Vuskovic is the captain of that team and crucial to their plans.
Technically, their games are more important. Croatia have already secured first place in Group L of qualifying and their last two games are simply about the final standings. The U21s have six games left in their campaign.
A deal needs to be worked out between the two set ups for the Tottenham youngster. He’s progressing quickly, though, and there’s even a feeling he could be going to the World Cup next summer anyway. If he does, he’s unlikely to be a part of the European Championship squad heading to Serbia and Albania a year later if they qualify.
For now, he’s set to play for both in this international break as his reputation continues to rise.
