Tottenham fans will love what Croatian manager Zlatko Dalic has said about Luka Vuskovic after the centre-back’s impressive start to life at Hamburg.
The teenager has shown in his first month and a half at Hamburg just why he is such a special talent, carrying on from where he left off in his loan spell at Westerlo in Belgium last term.
Vuskovic is already breaking defensive records in his first few Bundesliga matches, and the Tottenham man’s new teammates are in awe of his talent.
Vuskovic was named the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month for September, and one would not bet against him winning the same award on a few more occasions this season or perhaps even more prestigious ones.
Zlatko Dalic makes a confident claim about Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic
Vuskovic has been recalled to the Croatian squad after making his international debut for the country back in May.
The teenager now potentially has an opportunity to feature in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Gibraltar.
Zlatko Dalic has now said that the Tottenham Hotspur man will be a fixture in central defence for his country for over a decade.
Dalic said about the teenage defender (via Football.London): “A huge talent, he plays excellently in the Bundesliga, and that’s why he got a chance in the senior national team. I think he should be with us to feel the atmosphere and what awaits him. With him, Croatia secures its centre-back for the next 10-15 years.”
Spurs could soon make a big Vuskovic decision
According to a recent report, the centre-back’s displays at HSV have impressed scouts from across the game, including Tottenham’s own.
The report, which came from TBR Football, claimed that Spurs could take up the option to recall Vuskovic in January if he continues performing as well as he has started in Germany.
Speaking to the Croatian media last month, Vuskovic revealed that Tottenham wanted him to stay, but he insisted on going out on loan to get regular game time.
