The goalscoring Spurs defender making headlines in Germany

Many are now touting him as a potential long-term successor to defender Dayot Upamecano at Bayern.

Though Upamecano is now expected to sign a contract extension beyond the summer, Munich newspaper TZ reported this week that Bayern are continuing to monitor Vuskovic.

On Tuesday, former Barcelona and Croatia star Ivan Rakitic urged Bayern to sign the teenager.

"I think he has to go to Bayern, but the whole of European football is talking about him at the moment, so they need to get a move on," Rakitic told Sky Sports Germany.

"I'm interested to see if Tottenham manage to keep him beyond the summer, because for me, he is already ready to make the next step to one of the absolute top clubs in Europe, and there are only four or five of those", he added.

Others are less sure. Legendary German commentator Marcel Reif said this week that he thought the 18-year-old was too young for a move to Munich.

"He would be overwhelmed at Bayern," Reif told German tabloid Bild.

Vuskovic insists he is in no hurry to make a decision.

"In football you never know what will happen. For now I am focused on HSV and next summer after the World Cup we will see," he said on Saturday.

If there is one thing which might keep him at Hamburg, it is the chance to play alongside his older brother Mario.

Five years his senior, Mario Vuskovic has been at Hamburg since 2021, but is currently serving a three-and-a-half-year ban after a positive doping test in 2022.

Though the player and the club have always protested his innocence, his ban has been upheld by multiple courts and is in place until November 2026.

The two brothers are very close: Luka has a picture of himself and Mario tattooed on his arm and currently wears his brother's number 44 shirt.

In January, he lost his temper during the Hamburg derby after St. Pauli fans held up banners mocking Mario's doping ban.

Even as top clubs circle, the 18-year-old has made no secret of his desire to play alongside his brother.

"It's my dream to play with Mario at HSV and I'll give everything for that," he said in an interview with the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper in December.

"Tottenham know that, but I am their player and have a contract with them. We will decide when the moment is right."
