Tottenham Hotspur youngster Luka Vuskovic will be dropped into the deep end by loan club HSV Hamburg this weekend, with a debut against Bayern Munich.
That’s according to BILD, who say the Tottenham youngster will be handed his debut as a replacement for Jordan Torunarigha, who is injured.
The highly rated youngster joined HSV on loan at the end of the summer window after Tottenham decided late on to let him depart on loan.
He had returned to them from a highly successful loan spell in Belgium last year and Thomas Frank had initially wanted a more detailed look at him during pre-season.
The decision was made to loan him out and they initially sought out an English loan but eventually accepted a move to HSV late in the window instead. They had been interested throughout the summer and already convinced the youngster, using the fact that his brother already plays for them to their advantage.
Now he’s set for a baptism of fire, with BILD reporting that the 18-year-old will start in central defence for the clash with Bayern.
According to them, the Tottenham loaned has ‘quickly demonstrated’ int raining that he can be a valuable asset to Hamburg’s defence. This is despite only returning from international duty on Wednesday.
Now he can show his talents against Germany’s best team straight away and gain the experience Tottenham were hoping for early on.
