A new update from Germany has denied previous claims that Luka Vuskovic’s loan switch from Tottenham to Hamburg is imminent.
According to various sources, including Alasdair Gold, Thomas Frank is willing to loan out Vuskovic, which is why he wants to add another centre-back to his Tottenham squad before the September 1 deadline.
The 18-year-old, who has impressed in pre-season, has been an unused substitute in all three of Tottenham Hotspur’s games so far this season.
It has been widely reported since the start of the summer that the Bundesliga is likely to be Vuskovic’s destination, but a new update has suggested that a loan move for the teenager is not close.
Tottenham yet to agree to send Luka Vuskovic to Hamburg
It was reported by Fabrizio Romano a couple of days ago that Hamburg were in advanced talks over a loan deal for Vuskovic, with the journalist adding that an agreement will be completed soon.
However, this has now been contradicted by the print edition of the Bild (as relayed by Sport Witness), who say that negotiations between the newly promoted Bundesliga side and Spurs are still ongoing.
The outlet claims that Vuskovic wants to move to Hamburg, which is where his older brother, Mario, plays.
However, it is revealed that Tottenham still have not made a final decision on the Croat’s future, and suggested that Hamburg may be forced to explore other options soon, with time now running out.
Could Vuskovic stay at Spurs?
With just six days left until the window slams shut, the Lilywhites may not have the required time to sign a centre-back.
That could potentially mean that the club decide to keep the former Hajduk Split man until January. However, the best thing for the defender’s development would be to get regular game time out on loan.
According to reports, Vuskovic is attracting plenty of loan interest from around Europe, but it may be wiser for Spurs to send him to the Championship so that the youngster can come to grips with the intensity and physicality of English football.
