Exclusive: Tottenham to rival Premier League clubs to sign Croatian duo Petar Sučić and Marin Sotiček
Spurs are set to rival fellow Premier League clubs for the signatures of Croatian youngsters Marin Sotiček and Petar Sučić, Tottenham News has learned.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have already had some recent success in the Croatian market.
Back in September, the North London side completed the signing of Hajduk Split centre-back Luka Vuskovic, who was just 16 years old at the time, for £12million (Evening Standard, 25 September).
Vuskvoic will join Tottenham in 2025 after he has turned 18 and is currently playing his football on loan in Poland with Radomiak Radom.
And now it appears that Tottenham could once again look to exploit the Croatian market.
Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou to continue recruiting top young talent at Tottenham
Tottenham News has been told by the same recruitment source who first revealed exclusively that Vuskovic would be sent out on loan that Spurs are keeping track of Sotiček and Sučić.
Sotiček is a 19-year-old right-winger playing his football with NK Lokomotiva. He has been described by industry sources as “very fast and technical” and someone with an eye for goal, having recently netted his fifth and sixth league goals of the season.
As for Sučić, Tottenham News has learned that the 20-year-old defensive midfielder, who joined Dinamo Zagreb last summer, is creating a buzz in Croatia and has recently been asked by the Croatian FA to represent their national team, having previously featured for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Under-21s.
Both players have been described as two of the “very best” when it comes to young Croatian talent and Tottenham News has learned that they are on the radar of several top Premier League sides.
However, Postecoglou will be optimistic that Spurs can win the race for at least one of the two player’s signatures after their recent successes in the market.
Tottenham beat several top clubs to the signing of Vuskovic and recently edged out Barcelona in the race for 18-year-old Sweden sensation Lucas Bergvall.
In other Tottenham news, one pundit believes Spurs will be “shopping at Harrods” this summer under one condition.
