One in-demand Tottenham Hotspur teenage sensation has now been rated the best in his position after a stellar 25-26 campaign.
Tottenham Hotspur will certainly hope to keep some of their better players in north London ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Of course, avoiding relegation to the Championship has made that a lot easier because, had Tottenham gone down, there could well have been a mass exodus.
Still, a few of their stars continue to attract interest, including teenage loanee Luka Vuskovic, alongside Cristian Romero and, more recently, Pedro Porro.
Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic earns top ranking
Porro was one of Spurs’ better performers this season, and it is no surprise that the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid are interested in the full-back.
Romero, on the other hand, has not been a particularly popular figure in north London, with fans of the Lilywhites openly calling for the Argentine to be sold.
Vuskovic, however, is a different case as he is yet to play a competitive game for Spurs. Nonetheless, while on loan at Hamburg, he has impressed, and several clubs across Europe are now keen on signing him this summer.
Data released by WhoScored has revealed that the hype around the Croatian is indeed justified, with him rated as the highest-performing centre-back across Europe’s top five leagues.
The statistics website awarded the teenager a rating of 7.32, placing him above Gabriel Magalhaes (7.26), Nico Schlotterbeck (7.26), Willi Orban (7.26) and Waldemar Anton (7.16).
Spurs keen to secure Luka Vuskovic future
Vuskovic had a stellar season with Hamburg, helping keep them in the German top flight following their promotion last campaign.
He was not only solid at the back, but also contributed in attack, scoring six goals for Hamburg in 28 games, a single goal short of his impressive season with Westerlo the campaign before.

Spurs Web reported back in May that Tottenham were looking to tie Vuskovic down to a new deal, with interest in the teenager growing by the week.
However, there have been no further updates on the meeting between sporting director Johan Lange and the Croat.
Since then, interest from Barcelona, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund has been reported, with all four clubs viewing Vuskovic as a centre-back option to strengthen their squads.
Vuskovic himself has since spoken about his future at Tottenham, revealing that he is looking forward to working under Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi.
