No quick Vuskovic deal? HSV eye up alternatives! | OneFootball

The waiting game around Luka Vuskovic continues: If HSV does not get the green light soon, they consider themselves ready to strike with other candidates.

In the final days of the transfer window, one name is omnipresent at Hamburger SV: Luka Vuskovic. The 18-year-old central defender from Tottenham Hotspur has been chosen as the preferred candidate for the right center-back position. However, the hoped-for deal is increasingly becoming a test of patience. Although, according to consistent media reports, HSV and the Croatian talent have long since reached an agreement, the final “go” from North London is still missing.

The reason for the delay is apparently the stance of the Spurs. New coach Thomas Frank reportedly wants to continue observing the young defender in training before giving the green light for a loan. Club boss Daniel Levy is also known for dragging out transfer talks. HSV’s patience is therefore being put to the test!

HSV sets a Vuskovic deadline!

Sporting director Stefan Kuntz and his team are therefore planning on two tracks. As reported by the Mopo, talks are already underway behind the scenes with other defensive candidates. According to the report, there is even an internal deadline: If Tottenham does not make a decision by then, the Hanseatic club would sign one of their alternatives and end the Vuskovic poker.

Completely independent of the defensive thriller, those responsible are also working on reinforcements for the attacking midfield. Swiss player Fabian Rieder from Stade Rennes is a hot candidate. The Mopo confirmed an Abendblatt report stating that the 23-year-old is highly regarded at Volkspark. At the same time, HSV is also reportedly in talks with three other players.

The next few days therefore promise pure excitement: By the city derby against FC St. Pauli on Friday (8:30 p.m., Sky), HSV wants to have created clarity—at least in the Vuskovic case!
