Although Vuskovic’s transfer to Spurs has not yet been formally announced, it has been widely speculated throughout the past week that it is only a matter of time.

According to insiders, the defender will reportedly agree to a £12 million deal with Tottenham and play for Hajduk Split until he turns 18 before moving to Hotspur Way in the summer of 2025.

According to the Daily Mail, the 16-year-old had previously been linked with clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle. A few days ago, Calciomercato said that the Lilywhites successfully fought off competition from Man City, PSG, and AC Milan to recruit the young talent.

Luka Vuskovic only wanted to join Tottenham

Now that Tottenham had pitched their proposal to the youngster, Romano has disclosed that Vuskovic had already decided he wanted to join them.

On the Here We Go podcast, the journalist stated: “First of all, I believe this is a significant move for Tottenham.

The end of January and the beginning of February saw Paris Saint-Germain in negotiations with Hajduk Split to sign Luka Vuskovic. “To see a player like Luka Vuskovic, coveted by many clubs around Europe, he was already wanted by many clubs.

“Manchester City then presented a proposal, an official bid to sign Luka Vuskovic, so two super clubs approached the player, and there was another English club that I can’t say the name of now, but I will say very soon,” the source continued.

It’s not just about the money or the badge, it’s also about the project, thus the player only wanted to go to Tottenham because they presented a crucial project for his development.

He believes that for Luka Vuskovic to carry that project through, Tottenham needed Ange Postecoglou as manager and Daniel Levy’s fresh ideas after the Harry Kane tale marked the end of an era for Tottenham.

“He made the decision to accept Tottenham. He instructed Hajduk not to enter into negotiations with any other clubs since he only wanted to join Tottenham. The contract is now final, and we are waiting on the results of the medical exams. According to what I’ve heard, it will happen the next week.

“Next week, very soon, Vuskovic will complete medical tests as a new Tottenham player and then I can share the details of the deal in terms of money, but it’s not going be a small fee, it’s going to be an important fee for a 16-year-old boy, so it’s not going to be £1m or £2m, it’s going to be way more than this.”

Had Antonio Conte still been in control, I doubt Vuksovic would have been as eager to join Spurs. We are without a doubt a more appealing place for aspiring young people with Postecoglou in charge because the Australian has shown he is more than prepared to believe in youthful talent.
