Tottenham Hotspur youngster Luka Vuskovic ‘could become the next superstar’ and follow in the path of Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol.
That’s according to former Croatian star Mladen Petric, who has heaped praise on the Tottenham youngster to BILD.
The Tottenham youngster is spending the season on loan at HSV Hamburg in Germany after securing a loan move at the end of the transfer window.
He had initially spent pre-season as a part of Thomas Frank’s squad after they wanted a look at him following a highly successful loan spell in Belgium last year.
They then elected to send him out on loan to aid his development this season, choosing Hamburg, where his brother currently plays, as the destination. The German side had pushed to get him for much of the summer and convinced Vuskovic that they were an ideal destination.
They are very excited to have secured him for the season, with his debut already planned for this Sunday when they take on Bayern Munich. Both they and Croatia are confident he’ll be a hit and Petric is delighted for his former club as well.
“Luka is a pretty hot prospect, one of the top talents in Croatia,” he said.
“He reminds me of the young Josko Gvardiol, who now plays for Manchester City. Vuskovic could become the next superstar in our country.
“I’m curious to see how quickly Luka settles into his role as defensive leader at HSV, leading the team from the back. That could take a while. He’s definitely an asset to my former team. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for him and the team.”
