Tottenham Hotspur could have an ‘exceptional’ player on their hands with new signing Luka Vuskovic. The youngster has now been compared to Josko Gvardiol by Croatian legend, Zoran Vulic.
While Spurs, like most teams, are busy fixing the here and now with a whole host of first-team signings over the summer, the North London club also have an eye on the future.
During the summer transfer window, Tottenham snapped up promising young talent like Ashley Phillips and Alejo Veliz.
Since the window shut, the Lilywhites have been hard at work to secure the signing of one of the most exciting young players around – Luka Vuskovic.
It has now been confirmed that the 16-year-old will join Tottenham in 2025, after a £12m deal was agreed for the Hajduk Split defender (The Athletic).
There are high hopes for the wonderkid, but we will have to wait a while until we get to see him in action for Spurs.

Vuskovic has a big future ahead of him at Spurs
According to Hajduk Split hero Zoran Vulic, Vuskovic will be worth that wait. He told Sportske Novosti what Tottenham fans can expect.
Vulic said: “What he has inside him is an exceptional feeling for the ball. Many say that he and his brother lack speed, but I don’t know who is the fastest stopper in the world. Next to today’s fast, light strikers, stout stoppers have little chance.
“The Vušković family plays football with their head, and there are really few of them. I would not like to burden Luka with big announcements, but I have to put him in the category of players like Gvardiol and Sutalo. That’s how I see his future, given that I know his physical and mental abilities.”

It’s going to be a long wait until 2025, but hopefully Vuskovic continues his development with Hajduk and comes to us feeling ready to fight for a place in the first team. By the sounds of it, we’ve got an incredible talent on the way.
