Tottenham received a bid on Friday for one of their defenders, but not for the one you might think.
There has been a feeling around the north London outfit for some time now that club captain Cristian Romero would leave the club this summer.
GIVEMESPORT senior football correspondent Ben Jacobs described it as being a "begrudging exit" for the Argentinian, who has been linked with a move to both Madrid clubs in the past.
But he is not the subject of a bid, as yet anyway.
Youngster is wanted by Brighton & Hove Albion
Instead it is youngster Luka Vuskovic, who has yet to play a first team game for Spurs.
The highly-rated teenager has spent this season on loan at Hamburg in the Bundesliga, earning rave reviews, winning the league's young player of the season award. He was the highest scoring defender in the division with six goals and was heavily praised for his impact, despite the club fighting against relegation.
Big things are expected of him, but there are question marks over his long-term future in north London. He has not yet met new head coach Roberto De Zerbi and it is unknown what part of his plans the young defender will play.
De Zerbi is already revamping the squad he inherited from Igor Tudor and Thomas Frank, with two defender signings already through the door in Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi.
Now, with Spurs in talks to sign Jan Paul Van Hecke from Brighton, the Seagulls have thrown a counter punch by placing a £30million bid for the Croatian.
Spurs would surely demand more than that to sell one of their prized assets, who is contracted at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2030.
And Spurs insider Paul O'Keefe revealed as much in reply to a Dutch journalist talking about Vuskovic potentially being used as a makeweight in the van Hecke transfer.

He said: "We aren't going to take £30million and we are very unlikely to do anything with Luka until post World Cup."
Vuskovic, like Romero, is out in the United States of America for the World Cup and some good performances on the biggest stage could add some numbers to his price tag.
The decision on the 19-year-old's future will ultimately lie with De Zerbi and what he sees in the youngster when he welcomes him back for pre-season training after the World Cup ends.
To make a decision before then, on a player with such a bright future, would seem foolish.
