HSV
Luka Vuskovic has left HSV but is now looking forward to a new challenge. WITTERS
Luka Vuskovic hasn’t been making positive headlines lately at the World Cup. In the background, work was being done on his future at club level – and successfully. The 19-year-old footballer will soon leave Tottenham.
At the World Championships in North America, Luka Vuskovic ultimately from a bearer of hope to a heated bench. The 19-year-old was on the bench for more than 90 minutes in the group matches against Ghana (2-1) and Panama (1-0). But that apparently hasn’t changed Brighton & Hove Albion’s attempts to sign favorites HSV. Now they even say that there has been a breakthrough in negotiations with Tottenham.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano writes his famous words “Let’s go!” only when he no longer has any doubts. That’s exactly what happened Wednesday afternoon. Romano announced on his social media that Spurs had accepted Brighton’s latest offer. Accordingly, nothing will prevent change.
Fabrizio Romano: Luka Vušković moves to Brighton
Accordingly, the club of ex-St. Pauli coach Fabian Hürzeler will transfer a fixed fee of 53.6 million euros to Tottenham. In addition, according to Romano, we are talking about bonus payments amounting to almost 4.7 million euros. In addition, Vuskovich’s previous club received 20 percent of the shares upon resale. Spurs want to make sure they can continue to earn big money from a centre-back in the future.
It will likely take a few more days for the agreement to be signed and officially announced. Vuskovic is currently still in the US and will face Portugal against superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in the World Cup round of 16 on Thursday night.
However, it can be assumed that there will be no place left for the young man in the starting lineup again – after all, national team coach Zlatko Dalic recently moved from three to four.
First HSV, now Hürzeler – a clear career plan for the pearl
Hurtzeler, in turn, sees Vuskovich as one of the key players for the upcoming season. Brighton finished the last Premier League season in eighth place and are not (yet) considered the best club in the top tier. But the move largely fits the career plan of a defender who wants to take it one step at a time.
