Van der Vaart explains: Why Vuskovic should follow the Kane path | OneFootball

The strong performances of Luka Vuskovic have not gone unnoticed by HSV icon Rafael van der Vaart. The Dutchman is well-acquainted with both the Hamburg club and Tottenham.

For van der Vaart, it is clear: The most crucial thing for a young player like Vuskovic is regular playing time at a high level. He is currently getting exactly that at HSV. "Tottenham will get back a significantly more complete player at the end of the loan period than the one they once loaned out," van der Vaart is quoted by Bild.

The 42-year-old warns the Spurs against bringing the teenager back to England too soon. "It won't benefit Vuskovic if he only gets sporadic appearances in the Premier League from the summer," he clarifies. His recommendation is accordingly clear: "I would advocate for the player to stay another season at HSV."

Van der Vaart: "That's how they should do it with Vuskovic"

The 42-year-old draws a comparison with Harry Kane, with whom he once played at Tottenham. The current Bayern star was loaned out multiple times to gain match experience. "You can see now how much the many loans benefited Harry's development. Now he's a world star," says van der Vaart.

The conclusion is logical from his perspective: "Just as Tottenham did with Kane, they should ideally do the same with Vuskovic. And the best place for that is at HSV."

Whether the Spurs will follow this path remains completely open. The central defender himself and his father Daniel have repeatedly stated publicly that they can well imagine another season at Volkspark. The background to this wish is particularly the doping ban of Mario Vuskovic, which ends in November 2026. Both brothers harbor the wish to one day play together on the field. However, the final decision will be made by Tottenham.
