Tottenham plan firm response as European giant show interest in Luka Vuskovic

4 hours ago 34

Reports now claim that Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to act decisively to shut that interest down in Luka Vuskovic.

Tottenham Hotspur have continued to keep close tabs on their young defender Luka Vuskovic, who is currently out on loan with Hamburg as he gains valuable senior experience away from north London.

The teenager has settled in impressively, playing his part in helping the newly promoted side climb to 14th in the table, with composed and assured displays in both penalty areas standing out despite his age.

Spurs will be keen to keep Vuskovic within their long-term plans, but his progress has not gone unnoticed, with the Croatian continuing to attract interest from several clubs across Europe.

Tottenham rebuff Bayern Munich interest in Luka Vuskovic

According to TeamTalk, Tottenham are understood to have rebuffed enquiries from several high-profile clubs, including Bayern Munich, for their highly rated central defensive prospect Luka Vuskovic.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Tottenham are exploring handing Vuskovic a new contract to fend off interest from multiple clubs.

It is now claimed that some within Spurs’ hierarchy are exploring another means to keep the Croatian on their books.

It is believed that some higher-ups at Tottenham believe that Vuskovic should be recalled from his loan spell at Hamburg, a move that could help bring an end to the growing speculation around a permanent switch elsewhere.

RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and Hamburg are among the clubs to have registered interest in Vuskovic in recent months, underlining the level of competition Tottenham are facing to retain control of his future.

Why Spurs see Luka Vuskovic as a long-term centre-back option

The Croatian has immense potential, and Spurs will need to do everything within reason to ensure they keep hold of one of their most promising young defenders.

Since signing for Tottenham, Vuskovic has been sent out on loan to three different clubs and is yet to make a competitive appearance for the north London side.

If Spurs allow him to continue developing on his current trajectory, he could yet become a long-term option at the heart of the defence, given the level of experience he has already accumulated at such a young age.
