Who is Tottenham Hotspur’s imminent signing Luke Vuskovic? Here’s everything you need to know about him including his age, nationality, position, stats and more.
According to The Athletic – Spurs are close to completing the signing of Luka Vuskovic from Croatian side Hajduk Split in a deal worth around £12m ($15m).
Ange Postecoglou appears to have fended off a number of Premier League sides for his signature, but he won’t be joining Tottenham’s ranks until 2025 – until he turns 18.
So, with this – here’s everything you need to know about him.
Who is Luka Vuskovic?
Luka Vuskovic is a professional footballer currently playing for Hajduk Split.
He progressed through the academy of the club, before making an unofficial debut at the age of just 15 in September 2022.
He scored his first goal for the club no more than two months later, against German powerhouses Schalke 04 in a friendly match.
His actual professional debut came at the age of 16 – when he started a derby match against Dinamo Zagreb. In this, he became the youngest-ever player to feature in the Croatian first division.
His fantastic start to his career has attracted some of Europe’s biggest clubs, but it looks likely that Spurs are set to secure his signature.
Where and when was Luka Vuskovic born?
Luka Vuskovic was born on the 24th of February 2007. He was born in the Croatian capital of Split.
The youngster has already featured for his country at youth level – featuring for the U15, U16 and U17 sides.
What position does Luka Vuskovic play?
Vuskovic is predominantly a centre-back.
He stands tall at 6’4, which makes him a physically imposing presence at such a young age.
How good is Luka Vuskovic?
The Cration powerhouse is wanted by Spurs for a reason, he looks like a real talent.
He’s very composed for a centre-half at his age and has shown great leadership qualities so early on in his career.
The only worry is whether he’s peaked too early. Being such a towering dominant centre-half gives him an advantage as a youngster – however, the fact he’s been regularly featuring for his first-team squad suggests otherwise.
He’s also got a keen eye for a goal. Which always helps.
You can judge for yourself. Here are some of his highlights below.
