Tottenham Hotspur defender Luka Vuskovic was on loan at Hamburger SV this past season, and he was outstanding for the Bundesliga club.
Brighton & Hove Albion are hoping to sign Luka Vuskovic this summer, and they are currently locked in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over a deal. The Seagulls are looking to sign him for a fee of £30 million, but Tottenham value him at over £60 million, according to Sky Sports.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are hoping to sign Jan Paul Van Hecke from Brighton & Hove Albion, and recent reports have claimed that they have prepared a fresh bid to secure the Dutchman’s services. Perhaps, the two clubs can strike a deal that benefits both.
Selling Vuskovic would be a mistake
Vuskovic is highly rated across Europe, and he is expected to develop into a top-class player with coaching and experience. Selling him this summer would be a mistake from Tottenham. We have previously covered reports claiming Liverpool and Barcelona are keen on the player.
The 19-year-old has all the tools to develop into a world-class player in the coming years. Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from Tottenham, and they need to replace him properly. Apart from investing in an experienced defender like van Hecke, they should also keep their best young players.
Vuskovic did not look out of place in the Bundesliga last season, and there is no doubt he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League as well. If Brighton can get the deal done, it could prove to be a superb investment for them.
The 19-year-old has the attributes to become a superstar in the future. It appears that the young defender is open to joining the Seagulls, and he has already agreed on personal terms with them. He needs to join a club where he can play regularly. If the Croat is not valued at Tottenham, it would be ideal for him to move on.
The £60 million asking price is quite high for a talented young player like him, and Brighton will want to negotiate a more reasonable deal. Perhaps, including him in a deal for van Hecke would make more sense for both parties.
