Luka Vuskovic has just enjoyed an impressive season playing senior football ahead of his move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham signed Vuskovic back in the summer of 2023 when they paid £12 million to sign the then 16-year-old from Hajduk Split.
The teenager has now spent two seasons out on loan, where he first impressed at Polish club Radomiak Radom before joining Belgian top-flight side Westerlo.
Vuskovic, who rejected Man City, made huge strides in the Belgian Pro League and his form has seen him earn a call-up to his senior national team.
The North London club are now starting to realise the player they have signed and their plans for him this summer have been revealed.
Tottenham realising what a talent Luka Vuskovic has become
Tottenham Hotspur were so impressed by Luka Vuskovic‘s loan spell at Westerlo and are starting to see how big a talent the defender actually is, according to Ben Jacobs.
The 18-year-old’s ability to defend well, but also to offer a threat in the opposition’s penalty area has been something which has particularly caught Spurs’ attention.
Vuskovic was named among the best youngsters in football, highlighting just how highly regarded the young defender is within the game.
Jacobs told the Last Word On Spurs: “I think Tottenham were incredibly impressed by Vuskovic and his loan spell at Westerlo. Most of the reason is because they’re realising this is a very intelligent player who can defend solidly, but also has effective attacking qualities as well.
“That’s exactly the type of player Spurs and Ange Postecoglou like – someone that can make an impact in both boxes.”
Will Tottenham send Luka Vuskovic out on loan again?
Currently, Tottenham’s plan seems to be that they will assess Vuskovic during pre-season and then decide whether to loan him out or not.
Newly promoted Bundesliga side Hamburg have asked about signing him on loan for the coming season, however, Spurs told them that they remain undecided over his next step.
Jacobs added: “Tottenham are delighted with the player and his development; they think he’s on track, and to clarify, there is no suggestion, according to my information, that Tottenham would entertain any kind of sale.”
“But what they may choose to do is loan him out for one more season, and that’s where Hamburg may be a possibility – they made an enquiry and what they’ve been told by Spurs is ‘we’ll let you know later in the window’.”
