Tottenham Hotspur are set to sign Luka Vuskovic. This is despite Bayern Munich holding talks for the Hajduk Split defender. He wants a move to Tottenham as it helps him develop.
Luka Vuskovic could have joined Harry Kane at Bayern Munich. But is instead heading to Tottenham Hotspur instead.
It’s stated that Barcelona and Bayern Munich held talks with Vuskovic’s representatives. This is ahead of a potential deal.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain even made offers earlier this year. But Vuskovic has now made his decision.
Vuskovic has decided to join Tottenham after Hajduk gave him permission to pick his next destination. This is by leaving him to snub the likes of Bayern.
Luka Vuskovic is the next big thing in world football and Tottenham got lucky
The report notes that Tottenham have now agreed a deal worth around £13million. That is a price tag which was met by a number of clubs.
Vuskovic has picked Tottenham though. And this is a major deal for Spurs and for their future.£13million for a 16-year-old is bold. But even more so when you factor in that Vuskovic can’t even play for Tottenham until the year 2025.
The rules mean that English clubs cannot sign overseas talent before the age of 18. So Vuskovic faces a long wait for a Tottenham debut which will help him develop in his current club.
Investing this kind of money in such a young player who won’t even play for the club. That is for the best part of two years is astonishing stuff. But Tottenham will be convinced that they have signed a future star.
