Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic continues to enhance his growing reputation with another eye-catching international display, this time against Vinicius Jr and Brazil.
Luka Vuskovic has continued to impress since Tottenham Hotspur signed him several seasons ago from Hajduk Split.
The teenager’s displays at Westerlo last term were impressive, and he is currently showing that he is capable of performing at a high level in Europe.
Vuskovic has been one of the best players in the Bundesliga this season, impressing with newly promoted Hamburg – a testament to his quality.
