He’s not at Tottenham Hotspur right now, but Luka Vuskovic has just done the Lilywhites proud by beating Harry Kane to his latest achievement.
Ever since Tottenham put pen to paper to snap up Luka Vuskovic, there have been high hopes around the young Croatian defender.
He impressed on loan at Westerlo last season and was clearly ready for another step up. Off he went on loan to Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga, and he’s adjusted to that level like a duck to water.
Vuskovic has been incredibly solid at the back while also proving a goal threat at the other end with a couple of goals to his name. In fact, Vuskovic has even saved someone’s life, after stopping an opponent from swallowing his tongue on the pitch.
Luka Vuskovic is the Bundesliga player of the season (so far)
Indeed, Vuskovic is having quite the season with his temporary club. Amid all the praise and accolades coming Vuskovic’s way, he can now add another very special award to his collection.
The Bundesliga is on a break for winter, and the German league likes to open up a vote to decide the best player of the season at the halfway mark.
Vuskovic was part of the 16-man shortlist for the award, along with Tottenham legend and Bayern Munich star, Harry Kane.
Turns out, he’s pipped the England captain to the prize. Vuskovic took a 60% majority of the fan-led vote to be crowned the best player in the Bundesliga so far in 2025/26.
Spurs need to give Vuskovic first-team place next season
Everyone can see how much of a star Vuskovic is and just how good he is going to be in the future. German outlet BILD even suggested Vuskovic is an £88m star already, and it’s clear he is ready for the next step in his career.
That has to be with Tottenham, and it would be a massive surprise if he’s not part of the Spurs first-team squad for 2026/27.
There are already rumours suggesting the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona will try to sign him, but Vuskovic has rubbished that speculation.
Still, if Spurs don’t get him involved soon, he may well decide he can progress better and quicker elsewhere. It would be a travesty if Tottenham were to let this generational talent go.
