Luka Vuskovic has earned a great deal of recognition with an outstanding Bundesliga season. Jonathan Tah is also full of praise for the HSV player.
Several months ago already, the German international had spoken highly of Vuskovic. Shortly before that, HSV had held Bayern Munich to a completely unexpected 2:2 draw at the Volksparkstadion. The 19-year-old delivered a fabulous performance and personally scored the final goal of the match,
“I really think he’s good,” Tah said a little later in an interview with Sky. At the same time, the center-back revealed that the two had “been in touch from time to time.” What impressed him in particular was not only the Croatian’s performances, but also the way he carries himself on the pitch. “I like his energy, I like his confidence,” said Tah.
Now the 30-year-old doubled down once again at the DFB media day in Herzogenaurach. He said he had “followed” Vuskovic and his development over the past season. Particularly noteworthy: this time, the praise was deliberately not tied to the fact that the HSV defender is a teenager. “I don’t like saying ‘for his age’ at all. I’d say the same thing if he were 25,” Tah made clear.

In fact, Vuskovic was one of the biggest revelations of the past Bundesliga season. The defender, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, impressed at both ends of the pitch. With six goals, he played a key role in Hamburg ultimately securing survival comfortably.
It is no coincidence that an experienced player like Tah is following his development so closely. Both are represented by the same agency. Accordingly, the contact that already exists from time to time is unlikely to fade away completely.
Tah certainly believes Vuskovic is capable of a lot. His assessment is unequivocal: “I think he has a very good and successful future ahead of him.” Perhaps the two defenders’ paths will even cross again in the future.
