One of Tottenham Hotspur’s brightest young prospects has been praised by his current manager as being ‘a phenomenon’.

Spurs are building a very exciting young core of players with Hotspur Way producing some top young stars and the club signing some of Europe’s brightest talents.

Over the summer, the North London club brought in the teenage quartet of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Yang Min-hyuk and Wilson Odobert.

Meanwhile, coming through Spurs’ academy are top young players in Mikey Moore, Will Lankshear and Jamie Donley. Moore and Lankshear both recently made their full senior debuts for Tottenham against Ferencvarosi.

But one of their hottest talents is currently impressing out on loan in the Belgian top flight where his manager has been singing his praises.

Westerlo boss claims Luka Vuskovic is ‘a phenomenon’

Westerlo manager Timmy Simons has described Tottenham loanee as ‘a phenomenon’ after the defender netted a brace from centre-back. The 17-year-old scored twice as Westerlo came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw against Beerschot.

His first goal came just after the hour mark as he used his impressive height and aerial ability to head home from a corner. The defender’s second was very impressive as he drove forward from centre-back showing great feet and after a lot of scrappy play, the ball found its way back to him and he riffled home from close range.

Simons told GVA: “Luka [Vuskovic] is a phenomenon. He is so calm on the ball and sets the pace. He has such good feet for a 17-year-old.”

Luka Vuskovic unhappy with his performance vs Beerschot

Vuskovic spoke very maturely after the 2-2 draw saying that despite his two goals, he cannot be happy as the team conceded twice.

Speaking after the match Vuskovic said: “I can’t be satisfied, we only won one point. We were good, but we need to work more on defence and be more focused. I’m happy that I scored twice, but it’s a shame I couldn’t score more, as I definitely had two good chances.”

The Croatian’s stats in the Belgian Pro League are very impressive and show what an incredible aerial presence he could bring to N17.

The defender agreed to sign for Tottenham in a deal worth around £12 million from Hajduk Split but will not officially join the club until the summer of 2025.
