Outstanding stats: Vuskovic shines in these areas!

Upon his arrival in Hamburg, Luka Vuskovic was hailed as a great talent. He fully met the expectations placed on him.

The 18-year-old has not missed a single minute of play since his debut. During the 0-5 match in Munich, he – like the entire team – paid a lot of dues. However, Vuskovic quickly demonstrated why he is considered one of the future top European central defenders. This is also reflected in the statistics. As one of the very few Bundesliga players, he has a success rate of over 70 percent in duels.

Overall, the Croatian, who now also plays for the national team, won 152 duels, placing him tenth in the league comparison. Vuskovic even leads in the number of aerial duels won. Like Union's central defender Danilo Doehki, he won 74 times in the air. For comparison: The second-best HSV players are Ransford Königsdörffer and Nicolai Remberg, each with 25 aerial duels won.

Vuskovic likely to leave HSV in the summer

Apart from the impressive statistics, it is also immediately apparent from an observer's perspective that Vuskovic possesses outstanding abilities for his age. He plays in the center of the back three and leads it confidently regardless of the lineup. Additionally, the right-footer created special moments, scoring the first goal against Heidenheim after the Bundesliga return and sensationally scoring with a backheel in the northern derby against Bremen.

Minor mistakes – such as in passing – play only a minor role. Vuskovic's market value, who previously gained initial international experience in Poland and Belgium, rose to 40 million euros after quickly establishing himself in the Bundesliga. Staying in Hamburg beyond the summer seems unrealistic. Tottenham Hotspur will likely want to recall their loaned player if his positive development continues.
