Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic continues to impress this season and has just reached a major milestone while away with Croatia, and we’ve now decided to look at the numbers behind his standout display.

Luka Vuskovic once again hit a major milestone in what has been a short career thus far with his national team.

The Croat was among those to receive a call-up this international break, and he did not hesitate to leave his mark in Croatia’s clash with Colombia.

Vuskovic was on target for his country, grabbing the equaliser in what was a 2-1 win over Colombia – his first for his country after just three appearances.

The Tottenham centre-back’s quality in front of goal is not entirely surprising, especially after managing seven goals with Westerlo last campaign.

This season, he has already grabbed five for Hamburg, having also netted for Spurs in pre-season.

However, Vuskovic’s display was not just outstanding because of the goal scored, but also due to his overall performance, which caught the eye.

On Friday, the 19-year-old played 90 minutes for Croatia, recording an impressive 96% pass accuracy while remaining solid defensively, not even dribbled past once.

Here is a breakdown of his underlying numbers:

Tottenham monitoring Luka Vuskovic as transfer interest grows

Tottenham will no doubt be keeping an eye on the centre-back, who has not only impressed with Hamburg but is also showing his quality on the international stage.

Given such strong performances throughout the campaign, it is no surprise to see Vuskovic attracting interest from several top sides.

Tottenham Hotspur supporter groups have now issued a warning to the club against the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as manager.

It is no news that Tottenham Hotspur are in search of a new manager, with reports claiming that Igor Tudor‘s time in the Spurs dugout might be coming to an end after a winless domestic run.

One of the names closely linked with the Tottenham job is Roberto De Zerbi, who is out of work after departing Marseille earlier this year.

The former Brighton manager is not keen on a move to Spurs at the moment, according to reports, instead preferring to consider his options in the summer.

Tottenham fans oppose Roberto De Zerbi move amid Mason Greenwood controversy

Tottenham supporter groups Women of the Lane, Proud Lilywhites, and Spurs Reach have released statements calling on the club not to hire De Zerbi should they decide to sack interim manager Tudor.

This stems from De Zerbi’s staunch defence of Mason Greenwood, who moved to Marseille in 2024, two years after he was arrested on suspicion of rape, assault, and coercive and controlling behaviour.

The Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges the following year, citing the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light, while Greenwood has denied all charges.

Speaking previously about Greenwood after his move, De Zerbi expressed his personal view on the player and his situation, stating (DailyMail): “He’s a good guy, he paid a heavy price for what happened, a very heavy price. He has found the right environment for him.

“We have lent him a hand and given him affection. He’s a little bit introverted, but I know him and his family. It saddens me what happened in his life, because I know a totally different person than the one who was described in England.”

The supporter groups have since issued strong statements outlining their concerns, arguing that such comments risk downplaying serious issues.

Women of the Lane said the situation ‘raises serious questions about judgement and leadership’, adding that managerial appointments reflect club values.

The statement read: “Clubs signal their values through the decisions they make. Who they appoint matters. The manager sets the tone, every day, for what is expected, what is tolerated, and how people are treated.

“At a time when Spurs need to rebuild, that culture matters as much as anything on the pitch.

“For many in our community, this is difficult to reconcile with the club’s stated commitments to respect, safety and inclusion. This is not an appointment Tottenham Hotspur should make. It introduces unnecessary cultural risk without a clear, proven track record to justify it.”

Proud Lilywhites added that the club has a responsibility to shape how people feel and what behaviour is acceptable, stressing the importance of leadership in maintaining an inclusive environment.

Their statement read: “When someone in that position publicly defends a player like Mason Greenwood, and frames it in a way that downplays the seriousness of what happened, it matters, not just in isolation but in what it signals.

“We are proud of the progress that has been made in making football more inclusive and welcoming. That progress matters, and it cannot be compromised or treated as secondary. We are not asking for perfection. We are asking for accountability, transparency, and leadership that reflects the values this club claims to stand for.

“All together, always. That has to mean something. No to De Zerbi.”

Spurs Reach also highlighted concerns around the messaging of such remarks, stating: “Comments previously attributed to Roberto De Zerbi, including public remarks defending and contextualising Mason Greenwood following serious allegations, have been widely criticised for appearing to minimise the gravity of violence against women.

“Regardless of intent, framing of this nature risks normalising harmful attitudes, diminishing the experiences of survivors, and sending a deeply concerning message about what is tolerated within the game.”

Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a potential Tottenham option, but fresh details highlight why a short-term return may not be possible.

The focus at Tottenham Hotspur during the international break will be to reset and regroup ahead of what will be a difficult run-in.

Spurs currently find themselves in a crisis, as they run the risk of losing their Premier League status, with just a single point separating them from the relegation places.

Morale is at an all-time low within the club following the latest 3-0 defeat at the hands of relegation rivals Nottingham Forest, who quieted a rocking Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after fans looked to spur their side on before and during the match.

Tottenham blocked from Mauricio Pochettino job share amid USA role

It is clear that the Igor Tudor experiment is not working, and as such, Spurs are understood to be considering a third managerial appointment this season.

Roberto De Zerbi is one name linked with the Tottenham job, alongside Adi Hutter, Sean Dyche and Chris Hughton.

De Zerbi, however, is not keen on a move now, with the former Brighton man instead wanting to wait and consider his options in the summer.

Mauricio Pochettino is also an option for Tottenham, but bringing the Argentine in at this point is extremely difficult given his USA commitment.

While there have been examples of managers juggling national team and club duties, with Michael O’Neill having been in charge of Northern Ireland and Blackburn Rovers, GIVEMESPORT has now revealed why Pochettino cannot be used in a similar capacity.

According to the publication, this is because team USA appointed a “world-class” coach and, as a result, they reluctant to allow any job-share arrangement, particularly during an international break when they face Belgium and Portugal.

Spurs may revisit Mauricio Pochettino option in summer

Of course, Spurs could still turn to the Argentine in the summer when his deal with the USA is set to come to an end.

It is even claimed that Pochettino, alongside De Zerbi, is among the favourites for the Tottenham managerial job this summer.

There is no denying that the former Spurs man will be welcomed back to North London next season should he be appointed.

However, Tottenham must secure their Premier League status first if they are to attract such a high-calibre manager.

Roberto De Zerbi’s stance on Tottenham has emerged as the club scrambles for answers amid their ongoing relegation battle.

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to part ways with Igor Tudor after what has been a poor Premier League run under the Croat.

A winless five-game run has done little to ease Spurs’ league struggles, with the Lilywhites now just a single point above the relegation places.

Tottenham are now said to be looking for replacements for Igor Tudor before the Premier League run-in begins.

Tottenham target Roberto De Zerbi has doubts over Spurs move

Roberto De Zerbi has been heavily linked with Spurs in recent weeks. The Italian is currently out of work following a mutual parting from Marseille earlier this year.

But Tottenham are believed to be working to convince De Zerbi to join now, with bonus clauses being discussed.

Football Insider has now revealed that Roberto De Zerbi has doubts about becoming the next Tottenham Hotspur manager.

MORE SPURS STORIES

It is explained that the former Brighton boss is reluctant to take over in the middle of a relegation battle and would prefer to wait until the summer before accepting his next role.

Providing more details on his situation, Pete O’Rourke wrote: “De Zerbi is somebody that obviously Spurs are very much interested in, whether it is now or at the end of the season.

“A lot will depend on Tottenham securing Premier League survival.

“It does seem Tottenham would like De Zerbi to come in now, but he is in no rush right now.

“He would prefer to wait and weigh up his options and probably come into a new job at the end of the season, where he can have a full pre-season with his new club and everything else.

“Obviously he has just left Marseille in February, so he is in no immediate rush to return to the dugout.

“He is one of a number of candidates that Spurs have looked at, but with the situation they find themselves in, it is difficult to attract their top targets.”

Spurs may turn to alternatives as Roberto De Zerbi hesitates

Spurs will now have to turn to an interim manager if De Zerbi is not keen on making a move at this moment.

Tottenham have been linked with several options, including Adi Hutter, Chris Hughton and even Sean Dyche.

The Lilywhites, however, might have been handed another blow, as Dyche recently poured cold water on reports linking him with the Tottenham job.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted to Sean Dyche rumours amid mounting managerial speculation as relegation fears grow.

Tottenham Hotspur are clearly searching for solutions to their managerial problem, given the reports circulating in recent days.

Spurs have been linked with a host of different managers, from Roberto De Zerbi, Marco Silva and Chris Hughton to Adi Hutter, following Igor Tudor’s struggles in the dugout.

Sean Dyche is also under consideration as Tottenham continue their search for a manager who can bail them out of their dire situation.

Tottenham fans react to Sean Dyche rumours

The latest Dyche links have sparked a reaction from the Tottenham fanbase, who themselves are in a desperate position as they watch their side battle to stay in the English top flight.

Many supporters are open to the idea of Dyche coming in to keep them afloat, though they are not looking for a long-term role for the former Burnley manager.

Reacting to the news, one fan wrote: “If he is willing he is the best available option idc.” Another stated: “Dyche over De Zerbi then Poch in the summer, De Zerbi is a ticking time bomb and this squad will not play along with him.”

Another added: “He should be the only choice for this particular scenario. Long as it is not beyond the summer. If Dyche cannot keep us up, nobody else can anyway.”

One supporter was open to Dyche despite preferring other options: “Will take it I guess given the desperate situation we are in. But I am not sure Dyche ball will work with these players. Still prefer a Spurs guy – Mason and others.”

Another Tottenham fan did not hesitate: “BRING!! He is the best available manager that can keep us up. He will implement the basic things which we need and play players in their right position. He is also experienced in the league. Should be the #1 option for us right now.”

Some fans were left in disbelief but conceded desperate times call for desperate measures: “Never thought I would see the day we go for Dyche but desperate times call for desperate measures. I would have a lot more faith in Dyche than Adolf Hutter.”

A final Tottenham fan added: “Yes it is not what we want but to stay up with someone who knows the PL and Spurs is what we need, especially brings in Defoe or Mason as assistant to know the club.”

Spurs face critical decision over Sean Dyche appointment

We also believe that Sean Dyche is the best available option for Tottenham at this stage of the season, given that he is a relegation specialist.

Of course, the next managerial appointment is crucial for Spurs, and should they get it wrong, their Premier League fate will be all but sealed.

However, convincing Dyche to come in for just seven games could prove a significant challenge, as it is claimed he would prefer a permanent role.

A positive update has emerged on Mathys Tel’s injury after the Tottenham forward pulled out of the France Under-21 squad, easing fears over his availability.

Only a few players can hold their heads high in this Tottenham Hotspur squad during what has been a disastrous season.

With Spurs sitting just one point above the relegation zone and only seven games remaining, the players must take their share of responsibility for the club’s current situation.

One of the few bright sparks has been Mathys Tel. The French Under-21 international struggled for minutes under Thomas Frank, even revealing that disagreements over his role affected his game time.

However, Tel has been given more opportunities under Igor Tudor and has impressed on most occasions, even if those around him have not always matched his level.

There was concern during Tottenham’s 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest when Tel was forced off with what appeared to be an injury around his thigh and hip area.

Fortunately for Spurs, the early signs suggest the situation may not be as serious as first feared.

Speaking after the Nottingham Forest defeat, Tottenham assistant coach Bruno Saltor admitted that the club were still assessing Tel’s condition.

Tel was eventually withdrawn from the France Under-21 squad, raising further concerns at the time.

However, football.london journalist Alasdair Gold has since reported that the injury is not considered serious and primarily requires rest.

This means that, provided there are no setbacks, Tel could return to action following Tottenham’s three-week break in fixtures.

The update comes at a crucial time for Spurs, who are short of options in wide areas. Wilson Odobert remains sidelined with a long-term ACL injury, leaving Tel as one of the few natural options on the left.

More importantly, the Frenchman has been one of Tottenham’s most consistent attacking threats in recent weeks.

Mathys Tel determination will give Spurs fans hope

The positive injury update will come as a relief to Tottenham supporters, who have quickly taken to Tel for both his performances and his attitude.

There has already been encouragement around his future, with those close to the player suggesting that he is fully focused on helping Spurs avoid relegation rather than exploring a move away.

That level of commitment is exactly what Tottenham have lacked from too many players this season.

Looking ahead to the summer, the situation could still change. Interest from clubs in France and Germany is expected, while Spurs may also look to strengthen in wide areas with more established options.

For now, though, Tel remains a key figure in Tottenham’s fight for survival, and his return to fitness could prove vital in the final weeks of the campaign.

Sean Dyche has now responded to the latest rumours linking him with a move to relegation-threatened Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur are reported to have set a timeline to decide the future of Igor Tudor, who has struggled in the dugout.

Spurs still sit dangerously close to the relegation zone, with just a single point separating them from the bottom three in the league.

With the club at risk of losing its league status, it is claimed that they are assessing new managerial options for the rest of the season.

Tottenham-linked Sean Dyche responds to Spurs talks rumours

Sean Dyche is one man who has been linked with the Tottenham job, and it is no surprise given his Premier League experience and reputation as a relegation specialist.

Whether he will join Tottenham, or if the recent reports are true, remains to be seen, but the former Nottingham Forest manager has now responded to the latest Spurs links.

talkSPORT has now quizzed the former Burnley and Everton boss on the rumours about his future.

Responding to the speculation, Dyche recalled a recent encounter in a pub in north London, saying: “That’s brilliant. Honestly, I was in a pub just up the way, near my place I’ve got down there.

“And this guy goes: ‘Oh, you’re meant to be in talks with Spurs’.

“And I said: ‘Well, I’m sat next to you having a pint of Guinness – it’s unlikely.

“I said: ‘Unless you work for Spurs, and they’re at The Seven Stars Pub having a pint of Guinness, it’s highly unlikely!

“[I said] No, I’m not. I’m with you, mate. And I’m on talkSPORT. That’s what I’m doing’.”

Spurs rumours highlight Sean Dyche stance on speculation

Continuing on the subject during the same appearance, Dyche addressed the wider issue of transfer speculation and how comments are often interpreted, explaining how managers struggle to navigate such questions.

He said: “You get clickbaited to death, don’t you?

“So no matter what you do, it’s a very tricky situation. You are right to ask for an inside view.

“When you’re the manager, you know you’re going to get asked these [questions] at some point, whatever part of your career, if you’re doing all right.

“And you get asked, and then you try and be respectful, because obviously, let’s use Tottenham as an example – brilliant club, massive club and all the rest.

“One of my first ever memories is Ricky Villa’s goal [in the 1981 FA Cup final] and all that. And then you go: ‘Yeah, I’m flattered.’

“And then they go: ‘Oh, he has not said no!’. Then you go: ‘No’. And they go: ‘Oh, he wants it, really?’

“And you say: ‘Yes’, and they go: ‘Oh, I knew he’d want it’.

“Whatever you say [people take the wrong way], because if you say: ‘No, I’m not interested’, it’s as if he has got ideas above his station.”

A new report has revealed Sean Dyche’s stance on taking over at Tottenham, with Igor Tudor’s future at the club now uncertain as Spurs fight to avoid relegation.

Igor Tudor has struggled to bring consistency to Tottenham Hotspur since replacing Thomas Frank, and while performances have shown some improvement, results have simply not followed.

Spurs now sit just one point above the relegation zone with only seven games remaining, leaving little margin for error in the final stretch of the season.

The Croatian has lost four of his five Premier League matches in charge, drawing the other, and the recent 3-0 defeat to fellow relegation contenders Nottingham Forest may prove to be the last straw.

Reports last week suggested that a mutual parting of ways could be on the cards, particularly after Tudor sadly lost his father shortly after that defeat, with a separation potentially the most suitable outcome for both parties.

There has been no official confirmation yet, but that is believed to be due to Tottenham wanting clarity on a successor before making any announcement.

Now, there has been a significant development regarding one of the leading candidates.

Sean Dyche responds to Tottenham approach as relegation battle intensifies

Earlier this week, it emerged that Sean Dyche had surprisingly entered the frame for the Tottenham job, despite previous reports suggesting that a short-term role may not appeal to him.

However, according to TeamTalk, Dyche is now open to the challenge of helping Tottenham preserve their Premier League status.

However, there is no clarity regarding whether this would be a short-term appointment or something longer, which remains a key factor in any potential agreement.

Dyche’s track record in relegation battles makes him a logical option. The 53-year-old has successfully guided teams through similar situations during his time at Everton, Watford and Burnley.

A short-term deal until the end of the season could suit Tottenham’s immediate needs, but a contract covering just seven games may still raise doubts from Dyche’s perspective.

On the other hand, a longer-term appointment could prove unpopular among supporters, particularly given the availability of other managerial options in the summer and Dyche’s lack of experience at Champions League level.

Tottenham options limited as Roberto De Zerbi stance becomes clear

Tottenham’s options appear increasingly limited at this stage of the season.

Roberto De Zerbi is still viewed as the club’s preferred candidate, but the former Brighton manager has once again indicated that he is not prepared to take over immediately, instead favouring a move in the summer.

TeamTalk also reports that internal discussions have taken place over several other names, including former Spurs figures Robbie Keane, Tim Sherwood and Harry Redknapp, although none of those options have progressed.

As things stand, Tottenham may have little choice but to focus on short-term solutions.

If Sean Dyche is willing to take on the role until the end of the season, he looks like the most sensible option given his experience in similar situations and the urgency of Spurs’ current position.

Tottenham Hotspur loanee centre-back Luka Vuskovic has now reached another career milestone, this time on the international stage.

The sky looks like the limit for Tottenham Hotspur’s on-loan star Luka Vuskovic, who continues to impress with his performances.

The young Croat managed seven goals last season for Westerlo, making a name for himself as a goalscoring centre-back.

This season, that trait has remained, with Vuskovic managing five goals for Hamburg already in the Bundesliga, after having scored for Spurs once in pre-season.

Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic scores first Croatia goal in friendly win

The centre-back has now reached another career milestone, this time with his country in their game against Colombia in a friendly match.

Croatia beat the South American outfit 2-1, and Vuskovic was on target, drawing his side level in the sixth minute after a Jhon Arias strike in the second minute.

The strike was a deflected effort from outside the box that flew into the net, before Igor Matanovic scored a second to seal the victory for Zlatko Dalic’s side.

Reacting to the moment and reflecting on his first international goal after only three appearances, Vuskovic shared his pride via social media, on Instagram, saying: “I am very proud to have scored my first goal for the national team and contributed to an important victory.”

Luka Vuskovic’s performance highlights Spurs’ potential

The young centre-back can be proud of the milestone he has reached, but he must not get overly carried away, which was the message from his manager.

Speaking about the defender’s display, Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic highlighted both his quality and areas for improvement, stating: “He played well and with quality, which is why we played that system with three at the back.

“He maybe needs to be a bit more decisive and responsible, but he is growing. He will certainly have a great career.

“In the last 15 minutes, we switched to four at the back, which he can play. He played well, like everyone else, I would not single anyone out. Many good things.”

Regardless, it was a complete display from the young centre-back, who managed three touches of the ball, a 96% pass success rate and 13 defensive contributions, including nine clearances, two blocks and two interceptions. He made three ball recoveries and was not dribbled past once.

Tottenham are still searching for a new manager following Igor Tudor’s domestic struggles, with internal talks now held over appointing a Premier League boss pushing for Champions League football – Marco Silva.

Tottenham Hotspur are currently in a crisis, given how poorly their 2025-26 season has gone thus far domestically.

As it stands, Spurs are on course to break an unwanted Premier League record this year, one held by Derby County, should they continue their three-month winless streak in 2026.

It is clear that something has to change for Tottenham, or the worst might well befall them – relegation, something they have avoided for almost half a century.

Tottenham talks with Marco Silva revealed by Fabrizio Romano

Tottenham have so far used two managers this campaign, with Thomas Frank taking charge in the summer before he was dismissed after just eight months following a run of poor results and a falling-out with fans.

Igor Tudor has since replaced the Dane, but the former Juventus man has not improved Spurs’ fortunes and is winless in his five Premier League games thus far.

Pressure is mounting on Tudor and, as such, Spurs, who sit just a single point above the bottom three, are considering their managerial options.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Providing insight into the situation and the names under discussion, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Marco Silva has once again emerged as a candidate.

This is not the first time Tottenham have been linked with Marco Silva. In fact, last summer, Silva was among the names under consideration following Ange Postecoglou’s sacking before they opted for Frank.

Speaking about the future of the Fulham boss, Romano said on his YouTube channel: “In terms of names appreciated by Tottenham, I wanted to bring to the table, as an exclusive update tonight, the name of Marco Silva.

“Fulham manager Marco Silva has a release clause in his contract, and is a name being mentioned internally at Tottenham in recent days. Marco Silva did a very good job at Fulham in recent years, has been on the Tottenham list before Thomas Frank last summer. Now Marco Silva has been discussed again internally at Tottenham.

“Let us see with De Zerbi, with Silva, what they decide to do with his job for present and especially for future because with Tudor, let us see what happens now, but for sure he is not staying beyond this season, even if Tottenham do not get relegated.”

Marco Silva record shows why Spurs are interested

Thus far this season, Silva looks to be having one of his best managerial performances in the Premier League to date, with his side on course for a European finish.

The Cottagers sit ninth in the Premier League table and are just five points behind the Champions League places.

Of course, with Fulham in a much better place, it is very unlikely Marco Silva leaves at this stage of the season; however, with his contract set to expire at the end of this campaign, he may be tempted to move to north London in the summer.
