Tottenham Hotspur signing Luka Vuskovic has been hailed for having ‘enormous potential’ after securing his move to North London.
Luka Vuskovic has been praised as a leader with Tottenham Hotspur now set to benefit.
After a few weeks of rumours, Tottenham have sealed the signing of Vuskovic.
Spurs are paying £12million to bring Vuskovic to North London – but they must wait before seeing him in action.
Vuskovic is only 16 and can’t actually play for Tottenham until he turns 18, meaning we won’t see Vuskovic playing in a Spurs shirt until 2025.
Luka Vuskovic hailed over in Croatia
Spurs clearly believe that Vuskovic is going to become a star of the future; it’s not often you see 16-year-old’s sold for £12million.
Vuskovic has already been playing for Hajduk’s first team and be looks destined for stardom.
Former Hajduk player and coach Zoran Vulic has now been asked about Vuskovic having ‘worked individually’ with the young defender.
Vulic has told Sportske Novosti that he believes Tottenham will not lose anything from signing Vuskovic and only stand to gain from his arrival.
Vulic adds that Vuskovic has ‘enormous potential’ whilst praising him as a ‘leader’ even at the age of just 16.
Brother Mario – who plays for Hamburg – has similar traits but the expectation is that Luka will go much further in his career.
“Time will tell for Tottenham, but the English will not lose anything. They will only gain,” said Vulic. “God bless you, because Luka Vušković has enormous potential, but what is even more important, he also has the head of a leader, just like his older brother Mario,” he added.
Tottenham building quite the defence for the future
Vuskovic’s arrival was exciting enough and comments like those from Vulic will only serve to increase the hype.
What’s interesting is that Tottenham really appear to be building an impressive set of centre backs for the years to come.
Summer signing Ashley Phillips is very highly-regarded, as is youth academy prospect Alfie Dorrington.
First-team centre backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are only 25 and 22 respectively, so they should have their best years of them.
Add in Vuskovic down the line and Tottenham could be settled at centre back for a long time after years of chopping and changing – but it will be down to those young defenders and the Spurs coaching staff to make sure their potential doesn’t go unfulfilled.
