Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on the signing of Croatian defender Luka Vuskovic.
The outstanding 16-year-old defender is set to join Tottenham Hotspur soon, and Fabrizio Romano has announced that the player will have his physical with the Premier League club next week.
There have been suggestions that the defender will cost between £1-2 million, but Romano feels the true cost will be much higher. The Italian writer further stated that the player was drawn to the Tottenham idea and did not want his representatives to negotiate with other teams.
“Seeing that project was important for Luka Vuskovic. He urged Hajduk not to engage with any other club since he only wanted to move to Tottenham, and the transaction is now finalised while we await the medical exams. According to what I’ve heard, it will take place next week. “Vuskovic will complete medical tests as a new Tottenham player next week, very soon, and then I will be able to share details in terms of money, it will not be a small fee, it will be an important fee for a 16-year-old boy, it will not be £1m or £2m, it will be far more than this,” Romano said on the Here We Go Podcast.
Vuskovic is highly regarded throughout European football, and he is anticipated to develop into a top-tier defender for Tottenham.
Spurs desperately need defensive reinforcements, so it’s no surprise that they’ve signed a youngster like Vuskovic.
The 16-year-old will now look to continue his development at the North London club, and it will be interesting to see if they can help him reach his full potential.
Meanwhile, the Evening Standard stated a few days ago that the 16-year-old defender will stay at his present club Hajduk until he turns 18 before joining Tottenham in 2025.
The brilliant young defender has the ability to establish himself as a first-team player for Tottenham, and if he achieves his potential with them, he might wind up saving the London club millions on the transfer market.
In the long term, the reported fee may appear to be a steal.
