Luka Vuskovic

Brighton & Hove Albion have made a £30million offer to sign defender Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham Hotspur.

There is also strong interest from leading clubs elsewhere in Europe — but Vuskovic’s idea is to join a side like Brighton as the next step in his career and then potentially progress from there.

The 19-year-old knows of Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler from Germany — having spent the season on loan at Hamburg, where his brother Mario also plays — and vice versa, so there is a mutual trust and Vuskovic believes Brighton have shown themselves to be a good developing ground for young talent.

The Croatia international is regarded as one of the best emerging defenders in world football.

Brighton’s bid for Vuskovic comes amid Tottenham’s pursuit of defender Jan Paul van Hecke.

Tottenham agreed to sign Vuskovic from Hajduk Split in a deal worth around £12million ($16m) in September 2023 but he did not officially join them until last year after he had turned 18. His Spurs contract runs until 2030.

Vuskovic spent the 2025-26 season on loan Hamburg, where he scored six goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances. He is yet to make an official first-team appearance for Spurs, but featured for the club during last summer’s pre-season.

Would a move make sense for Spurs?​

Analysis by Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Jay Harris

Tottenham supporters will have a negative reaction to this news. Vuskovic received a lot of praise for his impressive performances on loan with Hamburg in the Bundesliga last season. The 19-year-old has never made a competitive appearance for Spurs and the hope was that would change next season. It is concerning if the defender feels the best move for his career is to join Brighton permanently.

Vuskovic’s situation is slightly complicated by the abundance of centre-backs at Roberto De Zerbi’s disposal. Spurs deserve praise for acting swiftly this summer to address the defensive issues which have plagued them over the last two seasons. They have secured the signings of Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi and have submitted two offers for Van Hecke.

The Athletic reported last week that captain Cristian Romero is expected to leave and there is uncertainty over the future of Radu Dragusin. If Romero and Dragusin are sold, Spurs would still have three right-sided centre-backs if they complete a deal for Van Hecke. It is not an ideal scenario to have Vuskovic challenging Van Hecke and Kevin Danso for game time, especially as Spurs will not be in a European competition next season. Danso has established himself as a reliable back-up option but Vuskovic needs to play regularly to keep developing.

There are similarities with Vuskovic’s situation to how Arsenal handled William Saliba. The defender went on loan to three different French clubs before establishing himself under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. The fear for Spurs fans is that Vuskovic’s stock keeps rising and they need to integrate him into the squad immediately or risk losing him forever.

Some supporters will be questioning the wisdom of pursuing Van Hecke with Vuskovic waiting in the wings for an opportunity.

Apologies if this isn’t allowed, ill delete if it isn’t

There’s not a chance in hell he’s going to Brighton for £30m this summer.

If for some reason the club feel like cashing in is the right choice, it will be for a higher fee and Bayern will match it.

Brighton on loan for a year to bring the van Hecke deal closer? That could work

The Athletic article that reported the link is vague - “The 19-year-old knows of Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler from Germany — having spent the season on loan at Hamburg”
So Vuskovic is capable of googling because he was on loan at Hamburg

Not a chance, but it feeds to social media channels and everyone wets the bed again for interactions

What I don't understand is how most on here like to say how unreliable the media is (and include Ornstein and Romano in that) but as soon as it's about one of our players get massively outraged at the club and go on as if it's true....

He has been capped five times at senior international level by Croatia and is part of their 26-man squad at this summer’s World Cup. The Athletic reported in June that despite catching attention from clubs around Europe, Vuskovic would be waiting until after the World Cup to decide his next steps.

Thanks - what an awful piece! Hah. I particularly liked this bit:

— but Vuskovic’s idea is to join a side like Brighton as the next step in his career and then potentially progress from there.

The 19-year-old knows of Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler from Germany — having spent the season on loan at Hamburg, where his brother Mario also plays — and vice versa, so there is a mutual trust and Vuskovic believes Brighton have shown themselves to be a good developing ground for young talent.

So because he played in Germany and Hurzeler is German they have mutual trust lol!

Vuskovic going to Brighton on a permanent make no sense on any metric from our pov. So I wouldn't take much notice.

If he does go there on a permanent....we have problems.

That's why I'm far from convinced about this rumour. It just doesn't make sense, and usually when it doesn't make sense it's because it's nonsense. I'd suggest it far more likely we get an Ali Gold tweet saying it's not true, but considering the ride we've been on of late the smallest part of you must wonder I guess :D....
 
This is the biggest bit of Spurs baiting I have read in years, but you see the response and you think "well why not"

I wish I had gone into the market all those years ago when my mate a the Mirror said "we put stuff out to rage bait fans and it makes money" he now is head of a massive social media platform which I won't declare who use it to promote one of the worlds biggest sports.

Howlin Cowlin, Gold, O'Keefe etc all have made a career out of making idiots out of our fanbase

Redknapp tried to sell teenage Bale to Forest, before someone with a long term view stepped in, so its in the realms of possibilty

I'm not sure we have any grown-up making decisions at the moment

Club clearly want to keep him and we're actually done well on his development choices.

In what way is that clear? Signing CB's left right and centre does not indicate that we want him and more importantly, will play him! We've come 17th twice in a row. It's not like we're much better than the team he was on loan with, and he's exactly the type of player we should build around! We can't and won't buy our way back into the champions league in one year!
