Luka Vuskovic names Premier League defender he is similar to, Tottenham fans should be excited
Luka Vuskovic’s latest admission will excite Spurs fans, with the Tottenham defender revealing that he tries to model his game on a Premier League title-winning centre-back.
Vuskovic will link up with the Tottenham squad for the first time this summer on the back of an outstanding season on loan at Belgian side Westerlo and winning his first senior cap for his country.
Tottenham fans are eagerly waiting to see what the 18-year-old can do in a Spurs shirt, and according to reports, Thomas Frank is keen to take a closer look at Vuskovic, with the Dane not ruling out making him part of his first-team plans for the upcoming season.
This is even though Vuskovic is attracting loan interest, with Frank and Spurs facing a big decision over the Croat over the next two months.
Vuskovic idolises Manchester City and Croatia star
The teenage centre-back got an opportunity to train and play alongside the heroes he looked up to earlier this month when he was handed his senior Croatia debut by manager Zlatko Dalic.
The youngster revealed that Man City star Josko Gvardiol, in particular, caught his eye, suggesting that he has similar attributes to the 23-year-old, who has been a revelation at the Etihad Stadium.
Vuskovic told Hajduk TV (as relayed by 24 Sata): “My defensive role model is Josko Gvardiol. He’s a beast, I’ve never seen anything like it — he’s like an alien.
“We have similarities, but when you see him play, you get scared by how good he is. We work well together — he handles things, and I help, ha ha.”
Luka Vuskovic is confident he can make a mark at Tottenham
It has been a long wait for the defender to arrive at Hotspur Way, having signed for the Lilywhites from Hajduk Split back in 2023.
Vuskovic is very excited to train with the Europa League champions, with the centre-back keen to make his mark.
The Croatia international has said that despite the step up in quality that the Premier League represents, he is not afraid of the challenge that awaits him in North London.
