There has been an update on Luka Vuskovic’s future as the Tottenham defensive starlet contemplates his next step.
Vuskovic’s impressive performances at Hamburg have made him a target for Europe’s biggest clubs ahead of the new season.
It has also been widely reported that Spurs are trying to tie the 19-year-old down to a new contract as they seek to send a clear signal to his suitors that he is not for sale.
The Independent even claimed last week that the centre-back could sign a new contract at Tottenham and return to HSV on loan next season.
Luka Vuskovic will not decide on his Tottenham future until the World Cup ends
The Athletic have now confirmed that there is no shortage of interest in the Croat, who has established himself as one of the most highly-rated defenders in European football.
The report confirms that discussions have been held regarding a new contract for the 19-year-old at Spurs, but he will not make a final decision now.
Vuskovic will wait until after the World Cup to decide whether to pen a new deal at the North London club and his next step.
Finally, the report adds that while Hamburg are ‘very interested’ in extending the defender’s loan, the German club do not currently see that as a possibility at the moment.
How Vuskovic and his entourage have reacted to the speculation over his future
Vuskovic himself put his chances of returning to the Bundesliga club at just 1 per cent, which clearly means that the 19-year-old is not expecting to return to Volksparkstadion.
Meanwhile, Croatian outlet MOPO reported a few days ago that the young defender’s entourage have been surprised by claims he could sign a new deal at Tottenham.
The report added that no conversations have been held between Vuskovic and Spurs regarding a contract extension, with the centre-back fully focused on making his mark at the World Cup.
