Spurs include clause: will Vuskovic leave HSV as early as January? | OneFootball

Luka Vuskovic could make his debut in the HSV jersey against FC Bayern. But will the center-back be gone again this winter?

Hamburger SV is placing great hopes in its new signings after a difficult start to the season. In the last days of the transfer period, the Rothosen secured Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira, and Luka Vuskovic from the English capital.

Great hopes rest especially on Vuskovic: The 18-year-old Croatian is considered one of the biggest defensive talents in Europe and has moved on loan from Tottenham Hotspur to Volkspark. He is still waiting for his first competitive minutes, but it could happen on Saturday against FC Bayern (6.30 pm, Sky).

Vuskovic already impresses Polzin

Off the field, however, a revealed contract clause is causing a stir: According to Bild Tottenham insisted on an option that allows the English to bring Vuskovic back to London as early as this winter. The background: Should the Spurs have personnel problems in the center-back position, they could need the youngster earlier than expected.

For HSV, this would be a severe setback. Because internally, Vuskovic already enjoys great trust. Coach Merlin Polzin recently praised him in the highest terms: "Luka is an absolute leader in terms of his personality and self-understanding, who leads the way. He defends with a matter-of-factness and robustness that does us good."

The Hanseatic's hope is clear: Vuskovic should stabilize the defense and be part of the team for at least one season. However, for this to happen, Tottenham must have a worry-free first half of the season. If the Spurs get through the first few months without major injuries, the chances increase that the Croatian will stay with HSV until the end of the season.
