POSTECOGLOU MISSED OUT ON £13M SPURS TARGET’S BROTHER AT CELTIC
Tottenham Hotspur are nearing a deal for Hajduk Split defender Luka Vuskovic after Ange Postecoglou missed out on his brother at Celtic.
Luka Vuskovic is poised to become a Tottenham Hotspur player with a move from Hajduk Split expected very soon.
On Sunday night, Fabrizio Romano reported that Tottenham were ‘on the verge’ of signing Vuskovic.
Despite the fact that he is not eligible to play for Tottenham until 2025, the 16-year-old is likely to sign with the club soon.
90Min adds that Tottenham will pay roughly £13 million for Vuskovic and that the teenager has chosen Tottenham as his new club.
Manchester City, PSG, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich all wanted Vuskovic, but Tottenham will win the race.
Another Croatian star heading for North London
Croatian players have long been popular at Tottenham Hotspur.
The name Luka Modric comes to mind, with the Ballon d’Or winner becoming a star during his time at Tottenham.
Croatian internationals Vedran Corluka, Niko Kranjcar, and Stipe Pletikosa have all played for Tottenham over the years.
Spurs now have Ivan Perisic in their ranks, and Vuskovic will follow in their footsteps when he is eventually allowed to play.
Ange Postecoglou finally set to sign a Vuskovic
Tottenham fans anticipate that Ange Postecoglou will remain in charge when Vuskovic arrives in 2025.
You never know in football, but Spurs fans adore Postecoglou and hope he stays in charge for a while longer.
Postecoglou would undoubtedly hope to get the opportunity to develop Vuskovic, especially after missing out on his brother just a few years ago.
In Postecoglou’s first summer transfer window as Celtic manager, Mario Vuskovic was a key target.
Negotiations for a £5 million deal were held, but Vuskovic eventually left Hajduk Split for German club Hamburg.
According to Bild, Celtic did make a bid for Vuskovic, but Hajduk rejected the offer, citing his view that Hamburg is a major club with several Croatian success stories in recent memory.
Postecoglou passed on Vuskovic and instead signed Cameron Carter-Vickers from Tottenham Hotspur!
Two years on, Postecoglou is finally about sign a Vuskovic after all – and this one appears to have even more potential.
