At HSV, the main topic in recent days has been the Vušković brother who is expected to be back in action for the Rothosen soon. But his brother, too, is still causing excitement even after leaving in the summer.

After his dream season in Hamburg, in which he played a key role in keeping the club up and contributing to the success of the northern side, Luka Vušković is now playing in the Premier League. Much to the disappointment of HSV fans, he naturally also attracted the attention of other clubs over the past year. In the end, he moved to Brighton & Hove Albion. And that seems to have been exactly the right step.

After leaving HSV: Things are going well for Luka

Across the first five matchdays in England’s top flight, the 19-year-old, wearing the number 44 shirt, has been on the pitch for 437 of a possible 450 minutes. So even at Brighton, after just a few matches, he has already become indispensable in central defense. On matchday three, he even scored his first goal against Leeds.

The latest highlight: with his new club, Luka Vušković comfortably beat reigning English champions Arsenal 3-0. Among those alongside him on the pitch was former BVB star Pascal Groß. The defensive midfielder, who only recently retired from the German national team, scored a goal himself and also played his part in the upset.

Although he has not been on the pitch with Vušković for long, he has already recognized the great talent and potential of the younger of the two brothers. In an interview with Kicker, he spoke highly of the center-back. Groß described Vušković’s performances as “very impressive.” For his young age, he is very advanced, very mature, and offers an “incredible combination of mentality, good technique, tackling ability, and heading,” the former Germany star enthused. Another point that convinces Groß: his work ethic. “The kid wants to improve every day,” praised the 35-year-old.

A trait that was also greatly appreciated at HSV when it came to Luka Vušković. Even if, unlike his brother, he is certainly unlikely to return to the Volkspark anytime soon, the fans on the Elbe will surely continue to enjoy following the youngster’s career in the future.
