Tottenham star could follow in Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall’s footsteps as mega-money feat achieved
Tottenham have been told that Luka Vuskovic should be among football’s best and most valuable teenagers.
The CIES Football Observatory recently named Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall as two of the most valuable teenagers in world football. The two have a combined worth of £106m.
Their appearance doesn’t come as a surprise, given that both became UEFA Europa League winners with Tottenham last season.
Both Gray and Bergvall were also praised for their commitment during training under Ange Postecoglou.
However, they’re not the only teenagers good enough to make the list.
Luka Vuskovic is one of Tottenham’s most promising talents
Tottenham loaned Vuskovic to German side Hamburg over the summer to further his development plan.
The defender has impressed for the Bundesliga team, playing 810 minutes in the league this season.
As a result, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham believes Vuskovic should’ve been named alongside his teammates as football’s most valuable teenagers.
“Both have played at Premier League level just for one season, and both are great Europa League winners. So both of them have actually been there and done it,” Wenham said.
“It’s all well and good for other players doing this, that, and the other. But they’ve actually been there, played a part in winning something. They’ve both improved a lot.
“They’re very young, especially Bergvall. To come from where he did, I mean, Gray had had 40 Championship games under his belt, but Bergvall, to come out of the Swedish League and just slot into top-flight football in the Premier League is so impressive.
“I think they’re both rightly on there. And I think the other one that should be on there is Vuskovic, seeing how he’s seamlessly settled into life in the Bundesliga.”

The stat that makes Luka Vuskovic stand out
One of the most noticeable things about Vuskovic’s performances in the Bundesliga has been his completeness.
The youngster has been defensively sound:
- He has made 8.9 clearances per game
- He has recovered 4.2 balls per game
- Vuskovic has blocked 1.4 shots per game
The defender has also won 69 per cent of his total duels, according to Sofascore. His clearance statistic is the most out of any player in the Bundesliga this season.
As such, Tottenham will no doubt have one of the most exciting young prospects at their disposal once he returns next summer.
