Kicker reports that a decision on Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic’s move to Hamburg will come on Thursday. The newly promoted Bundesliga outfit has reached agreement with the player and been awaiting the Premier League club’s decision for several days now. Kicker claims that Hamburg are prepared to give Spurs just one more day of grace.

Hamburg will wait until after this evening’s UEFA Super Cup Final between Tottenham and PSG. If the north Londoners cannot make up their mind tomorrow, the Germans will consider the deal failed and move on to other options. Without referencing specific names, Kicker notes that “parallel talks with other [defensive] candidates are taking place.”

Tottenham are thought to have decided internally that Vuskovic should be loaned out this season, but wish to take their time assessing which locale will best enhance the 18-year-old’s developmental prospects. Vuskovic only “officially” joined Spurs this past summer even though his move to Spurs was initially negotiated back in the autumn of 2023.

Bild reports that Borussia Dortmund have set their sights on Tottenham’s Mikey Moore as a replacement for Jamie Gittens.

After the sale of Gittens to Chelsea, the injury to Julien Duranville and Johan Bakayoko’s decision to move to RB Leipzig, Dortmund are continuing to search for a winger.

Die Schwarzgelben are looking for someone who will not cost more than €30m, and Tottenham forward Moore fits the profile they are looking for.

The 17-year-old’s contract in North London expires in 2027, and he is open to taking the next step in his career as he searches for more playing time. However, Tottenham will only let him leave on loan with an option to buy, so they can profit from his development.

Dortmund will still try to lure Moore to the Bundesliga. The developments of Jude Bellingham, Jamie Gittens and Jadon Sancho over the years would play into Dortmund’s hands when it comes to convincing Moore to make the switch.

Leeds United have joined the race to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach defender Lukas Ullrich (21), according to Bild. Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton have also shown interest in signing the Germany U21 international, who is yet to sign a contract extension with his Bundesliga club.

That has prompted the Premier League trio, alongside Wolfsburg, in monitoring the player’s situation. Borussia Mönchengladbach have offered the left-back a contract extension to deter other clubs, which would see the 21-year-old earn a reported €2.5m per year. In what was a poor season for die Fohlen, Ullrich was one of the standouts with 27 appearances across all competitions in what was a breakout season for the youngster.

Borussia Mönchengladbach sporting director Roland Virkus is determined to keep Ullrich at the club but with the financial power that Premier League clubs naturally hold, it may prove far more difficult with heightened interest. Bild report that Virkus lacks the financial approval of finance boss Stefan Stegemann, who is keeping an eye on the club’s ‘cash-strapped’ finances.

Daniel Farke, who coached Gladbach in the 2022/23 season, is also targeting two other players from his former club: Nico Elvedi and Julian Weigl.
