"Want to play with my brother": Will Vuskovic stay at HSV? | OneFootball

In just a few weeks, Spurs loanee Luka Vuskovic has become an absolute key player at HSV. Now he is raising hopes for a longer stay.

Luka Vuskovic is in impressive form. The 18-year-old is considered one of the most exciting defensive talents in Europe and has significantly contributed to HSV's now stable defensive performance with strong performances. Even though he wasn't as convincing against RB Leipzig (1:2) as in previous weeks, it's clear: On the path to staying in the league, the youngster plays a key role!

The logical consequence: Despite his young age, the central defender has already gained international attention. After being nominated for the Croatian national team, he has a good chance of being in the World Cup squad next summer. However, he wants to succeed with HSV before the loan deal with Tottenham Hotspur ends. Sports director Stefan Kuntz and sports director Claus Costa had recently stated that a long-term stay at HSV is rather unlikely.

Vuskovic makes it clear: "I want to stay another season"

But there is hope for the fans. Vuskovic himself has now made it clear that he could imagine staying another year in the Hanseatic city. "I want to stay another season at HSV and play with my brother," he told the Croatian TV channel MaxSport. Mario Vuskovic, who is banned for doping until November 2026, had already extended his contract on the Elbe during the ban to be able to play in the Volkspark in the future.

The support that HSV and its fans showed to the older brother despite the ban impressed Luka. "That was perhaps the main reason why I chose HSV. I really appreciate this club and the fans," explained the young defender.

It is no coincidence that Vuskovic wears the number 44 jersey, which Mario previously wore. The teenager feels very comfortable in Hamburg and hopes for a sporting reunion with his big brother.
