Shortened Vuskovic loan? Here’s how the HSV bosses respond | OneFootball

Just before the transfer window closed, HSV loaned Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham Hotspur after tough negotiations. His immediately impressive performances left a mark.

At the beginning of the week, the central defender was voted "Rookie" of the month for September by the DFL. The votes were 40 percent from fans, and 30 percent each from club representatives and experts. They chose Luka Vuskovic ahead of Leipzig's Johan Bakayoko and Ilyas Ansah (Union Berlin). The Croatian's performances did not go unnoticed internationally either. Tottenham Hotspur expressed their delight with the loan's progress so far.

Recently, there have been speculations about a clause in the contract that would allow the Premier League club to recall Vuskovic to North London as early as winter. Hamburger SV left this report uncommented. As the Abendblatt learned, those responsible, including Stefan Kuntz, are relaxed about the current situation. Accordingly, there is no concern about a departure in winter.

Vuskovic Shines at HSV

Beyond the summer, however, the central defender is unlikely to remain in Hamburg. The Spurs paid a transfer fee of eleven million euros for the 18-year-old and plan with him long-term. Vuskovic has already demonstrated his outstanding abilities in his first four appearances. In addition to his strength in duels both on the ground and in the air, his high game understanding stood out, allowing him to manage the back three from the center at a young age.

This was reflected in two consecutive clean sheets, which led HSV to the upper half of the table. Furthermore, Vuskovic, who only paid his dues during his debut against the currently overpowering FC Bayern (0:5), scored the crucial first goal of the season in the home game against Heidenheim, paving the way for a 2:1 victory. Croatian national coach Zlatko Dalic also took notice and nominated him for the A-team for the first time. They will face the Czech Republic and Gibraltar in the World Cup qualification.
