Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic has hinted at a return to the club once his season-long loan deal at Hamburg expires.
The 19-year-old has been a standout performer this term, recording the most goals, clearances and aerial duels won of any centre-back in the Bundesliga.
Vuskovic has yet to feature for Spurs since his €11m switch from Hajduk Split last July, but his latest comments suggest his focus remains firmly on his parent club.
“In football, you never know,” Vuskovic told German outlet FAZ when asked about the possibility of returning to England.
“It could happen next year, or in ten years. I don’t want to promise anyone anything.
“After this season, I’ll be a Tottenham player again. I have a contract there until 2030.”
Vuskovic’s performances in Germany have not gone unnoticed. He has quickly established himself as one of the most promising defenders in the division.
His composure on the ball, reading of the game and aerial prowess have drawn praise from teammates and pundits alike, fuelling speculation about his long-term future.
Despite interest from several top European clubs, Vuskovic remains under contract at Tottenham until 2030, giving them full control over his next move.
With new Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi renowned for giving young players opportunities, the Croatian could be integrated into the first-team squad as early as next season.
However, much may depend on Tottenham’s defensive reshuffle this summer, with uncertainty surrounding the futures of several senior centre-backs.
If Vuskovic returns to London, he will hope to impress in pre-season and stake his claim for a regular role at the heart of the Spurs defence.
His focus remains on finishing the campaign strongly with Hamburg, as the club pushes for a top-half finish in the Bundesliga.
