Ex-Tottenham star: ‘I’ve heard on the grapevine Spurs youngster will leave in summer for £100m’
Luka Vuskovic could be set to leave Tottenham in the near future.
Vuskovic is one of the most exciting talents at Tottenham, and is currently starring for Hamburg on loan in the Bundesliga, as the Sofascore graphic below highlights.
John Wenham feels Spurs need to keep a spot for Vuskovic when he returns, such is the extent of his ability, at the age of 18.
However, he may not ever feature at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after what a former star has heard about his future.
Vuskovic tipped for Tottenham exit in the summer
Tottenham youngster Vuskovic looks set for big offers after the World Cup, and there are huge question marks over whether the Lilywhites can keep him around.
Former Lilywhites ace Ramon Vega launched an explosive rant over the centre-back’s future on 3 February, saying: “This player is not coming back to Spurs! Another of many players the Spurs had a chance with, but they made the wrong decision.
“This is an example of the problem Spurs have been having within the football department! A total neglect.
“They will make good money, for sure, but there’s no football direction within the club, off to Bayern he goes, no wonder, I will not blame him.”
He later claimed that he has heard through the grapevine that he is not coming back and would be sold for £100million in the summer, as the Spurs hierarchy would not refuse that money.
He said: “Let’s just say it Heard it through the grapevine.
“Of course, Spurs still have to accept the fee they are offering.
“£100million, they will take the money as usual.”
Why Tottenham cannot sell Vuskovic
The N17 outfit cannot afford to lose Vuskovic at any costs, he looks like a true superstar in the making.
That was evident in the 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich on 31 January, as the Spurs loanee was one of the best players on the pitch.
The graphic from Sofascore shows how good he was, scoring one goal, making seven clearances and winning three of the four aerial duels that he attempted.
If he can perform like that against the champions elect at such a young age, he could be the kind of player to transform Spurs’ fortunes.
They need to keep hold of him, no matter what kind of offers that they receive in the summer, even if it seems to good to refuse.
The money would help them to rebuild their squad and add more genuine world-class players, but it it not worth it to lose such a generational talent.
That would send the wrong message to supporters and more importantly, to the club’s rivals, that they are not a serious threat for any of the biggest honours, as they will sell their biggest talents at the first chance that they get.
The new leadership need to prove Vega wrong, and show that they will not capitulate under pressure, and want to keep hold of their future stars.
