Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Vušković completed a dry loan move to Hamburg SV towards the end of the summer window, and the north London club sanctioned a move so that he can continue his development.
Last week, we covered claims from Germany that Tottenham will receive under €1m from Hamburg, who are already impressed with the centre-back after his first training session.
The Bundesliga club’s manager, Merlin Polzin, has heaped praise on the Tottenham man and Bild have relayed his comments.
“Luka, in terms of his personality and self-confidence, is an absolute leader who leads the way. He defends with a naturalness and robustness that is good for us,” he said.
The manager has also confirmed the 18-year-old is in contention to make his debut against Bayern Munich on Saturday.
It looks like there’s excitement at Hamburg over securing the loan signing of the Croatia international, but they could risk losing him in January.
That’s according to Bild, and they report of a ‘special clause’ that Spurs have inserted as part of the loan deal, to cut short the defender’s loan stay in the winter market.
The report explains another Tottenham defender has to suffer a serious injury for Thomas Frank’s side to exercise the clause to recall Vušković. If that were to happen, the player could be ‘gone sooner than expected’ from Hamburg.
