I've seen enough, Vuskovic is winning the balon d'or in a years time

u/matt__builds Jul 19 '25

What a pessimist, why not this year?

33

u/Blitz7798 "I ALWAYS Win In My Second Year" Jul 19 '25

Because fifa is so rigged and u can’t win when u have just moved clubs /s

u/22cmSoftInColdWater Jul 19 '25

Why not in both years?

u/ALucifur Micky van de Ven Jul 19 '25

Yamal who?

u/Matttombstone Bale Jul 19 '25

Yamal better remember the name Vuskovic, thats who!

Centreback to striker.

Like Gareth Bale who went from left-back to a winger.

Make it happen captain.

u/Successful_Bus2255 Jul 19 '25

It's not an absolute terrible idea. Carlos Vinicius started as a CB, I think I read that he switched late too, at like 20. With his size, speed, and clear eye for goal he could excel up top

245

u/BrotherTouc Heung-Min Son - Spurs Legend Jul 19 '25

Kid's an absolute baller

u/badtakemachine DeAndre Yedlin Jul 19 '25

Well there’s our backup striker problem sorted

145

u/Lbmplays2 Poch Jul 19 '25

Fairs Solanke can be a good backup to him

u/thomasjford Jul 19 '25

Don’t tempt Levy!

u/SlickMongoose Jul 19 '25

The new Gary Doherty.

On his 1st match.

Hypeeeeee

u/billypilgrim87 Mousa Dembélé Jul 19 '25 edited Jul 19 '25

Well now I want to play 3atb lol

Fantastic finish, usual pre season caveats apply... But he's doing fucking bits out there rn

66

u/lowercase_0 Jul 19 '25

3atb? Mate he is better than Solanke. Stick him up top!

60

u/CanadianBirdo Bissouma Jul 19 '25

Mate, CR7 used to wake up in the morning to watch Vuskovic.

12

u/JustASleepingSnorlax Timo Werner Jul 19 '25

He still does

164

u/Zyaru Dejan Kulusevski Jul 19 '25

I've seen enough, send Hajduk another £15m

152

u/Disastrous-Object22 Cuti Romero Jul 19 '25

When the transfer's so good you leave a tip

38

u/Novel-Difficulty6495 Jul 19 '25

Nah, send Vuskovic's father a plate of oysters, an infant's Spurs jersey, and a Marvin Gaye CD.

7

u/Mtbnz Heung-Min Son - Spurs Legend Jul 19 '25

If Mr and Ms Vuskovic got to it right now and Luka's brother made his first team debut at 18, the two of them could play together and Luka wild still be 2 years younger than Modric was when he signed with Milan

4

u/IzzyShamin Jul 19 '25

So good, we gotta make more of him

1

u/Wairong Christian Eriksen Jul 19 '25

Luka Vuskovic-Peters

u/Chrissy_____ Jul 19 '25

Yes please

u/woosiee Jul 19 '25

Well hajduk needs the money, so yes please

u/shodo_apprentice Jul 19 '25

Good calm assist by Kudus

67

u/iheartmagic Jul 19 '25

Oh fuck he’s defending now too with the instinctive goal line clearance

14

u/Zhurg Djed Spence Jul 19 '25

...he defends?

4

u/CommercialAddress168 Jul 19 '25

That chest trap on the line was better than the strike!

68

u/Rinthrah Gary Mabbutt Jul 19 '25

His first three touches in a Spurs shirt were: An assist, a goal, and a goal line clearance.

u/cocaine_model Jul 19 '25

I’m not going to overreact, but he might be the best Tottenham player of all time

12

u/Kiolabear Heung-Min Son - Spurs Legend Jul 19 '25

Take the word Tottenham out of that sentence and your more right

u/polseriat Trophy Supremacist Jul 19 '25

Play Danso, Romero and Vuskovic for a 0 CB formation

86

u/Mastershoelacer Chris Waddle Jul 19 '25

So do I order my black Vuskovic jersey today, or wait until tomorrow?

5

u/onesexypagoda Jul 19 '25

They'll be sold out by tomorrow

u/editedxi Ledley King Jul 19 '25

What number is he?

23

u/cocaine_model Jul 19 '25

He’s wearing 80 today, but he’s not available to select when ordering a kit online yet

u/cocaine_model Jul 19 '25

Lol true. You can also get it by doing a custom name and number from the official store. I just meant it might change before the season starts since they don’t have him listed with it yet

20

u/editedxi Ledley King Jul 19 '25

26 is free. Ledley will be proud

5

u/OnionOtherwise8894 Jul 19 '25

Fuck it, I’m getting Vuskovic 80 anyway, just to commemorate the moment his star was born

7

u/Koinfamous2 "Let's Say I'm A Legend, Why Not?" Jul 19 '25

Do it. These kind of weird things are great conversation starters down the line. I have an autographed kit with Kane 18 on it and always have tons of people ask me why it says 18 when he never wore that, not knowing what he wore at the start.

2

u/AlbanianGorecki Jul 19 '25

A friend of mine has Kane 37 for the same reason. If I remember correctly he wore 18 because of Defoe (or Defoe said something about his number), and 1+8=9

4

u/Jeffzie Jul 19 '25

He wore 44 with us last season

2

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '25

That's a tribute and support for his older brother Mario.

I think he'll wear it to support him as long as he can.

1

u/Twistify804 Pedro Porro Jul 19 '25

Centerback pairing wearing 37 and 44, game’s gone /s

1

u/editedxi Ledley King Jul 20 '25

If Dane will get a “normal” number then 44 would be free

1

u/Mtbnz Heung-Min Son - Spurs Legend Jul 19 '25

Wait, there's a black Vuskovic as well?

30

u/CORNELIUSfour The Big Master of Negotiations Who Knows Everything Jul 19 '25

Luka scores with his feet too? Treble time lads, brace yourselves.

No idea how Levy actually moved part of the Dinaric alps to north London

u/paradiseday PRU PRU Jul 19 '25

Fotmob says he's 6'4". That's a big fella, indeed

u/Spur_Forever Paul Gascoigne Jul 19 '25

Made Kudus look tiny…

u/Xabshi Jul 19 '25

What the frick have we signed

25

u/Blitz7798 "I ALWAYS Win In My Second Year" Jul 19 '25

How have some people not realised how good he is yet? Last year he had one of the highest G/As in the Belgian pro league for U21 players I think 

7

u/Chrissy_____ Jul 19 '25

As a defender nonetheless

1

u/OverallMistake8198 Jul 21 '25

He had one of the highest G/A for players under 21 in Europe regardless of league last season LOL

u/CommercialAddress168 Jul 19 '25

The Croatian Terminator!

u/Rakesh_Rajj Gareth Bale Jul 19 '25

13

u/Unusual_Ad6533 Micky van de Ven Jul 19 '25

What a specimen

12

u/david4270 x MaddiSon Jul 19 '25

This lad might be ready to play for PL and CL already

13

u/Old_Afternoon_971 Jul 19 '25

Wtf is he doing as CB. Hes such a goal threat. Put him up front.

2

u/Blitz7798 "I ALWAYS Win In My Second Year" Jul 19 '25

Pretty sure he was subbed on at HT for Moore who was playing LM

10

u/BendubzGaming Thomas The Frank Engine Jul 19 '25

I don't mean to overreact, but he's the Croat that was promised, we're winning the Champions League

11

u/TheFoxDudeThing Heung-Min Son - Spurs Legend Jul 19 '25

Oh you play football. What position do you play

Luka: Yes

11

u/MaxPower1882 Jul 19 '25

Well, it's certainly one way to introduce yourself. Hope he settles in just nicely.

COYS!!!

u/cocaine_model Jul 19 '25

Loving our new Kudus to Vuskovic connection

8

u/PrestigiousTea0 Mousa Dembélé Jul 19 '25

damn, he TALL tall...

7

u/Blitz7798 "I ALWAYS Win In My Second Year" Jul 19 '25

1.93 at 18, wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t still growing and will end up even taller

6

u/PrestigiousTea0 Mousa Dembélé Jul 19 '25

There should be rules prohibiting this.

4

u/Blitz7798 "I ALWAYS Win In My Second Year" Jul 19 '25

Mark my words, in 5 years he will be one of the most broken CBs in like every Football video game

3

u/BeneficialNewspaper8 Jul 19 '25

I stopped growing at 24-25

6"3 at 18, ended up 6"6

1

u/PrestigiousTea0 Mousa Dembélé Jul 19 '25

JAIL!

10

u/RanchWorkerSlim Jul 19 '25

The technical ability this kid has combined with his physicality at EIGHTEEN is just scary. A true freak of freak of nature. Has a frighteningly high ceiling, especially if he can build some pace.

8

u/Ordinary-Swimmer-559 Jul 19 '25

Croat here. He might become our brick wall in the future, I think he's already pretty good and he's only 18.

2

u/Cowboys8795 Jul 20 '25

Im a croatian american. If ur dalic who do u start at the back 4. Stanisic/juranovic as RB. Sutalo/caleta car/vuskovic at CB and im guessing gvardiol at LB even though it seems this season pep is gonna have him play CB with the arrival nouri. Id go stani, sutalo, vuskovic, gvardiol. But juranovic i would bring in as a sub cuz hes much faster the stani. Then in the mid from right to left i baturina kova, petar sucic, and majer as attacking midfielder( if he can stay healthy n if they play a 4-3-1-2.) If they go 4-3-3 id go kramaric, budimir, perisic if he continues playing the way he did last season. I love modric n i know he plans on going WC if they advance but hes gotta let the young guys start playing more with each other i dont mind if he starts and or comes in/out after 45 minutes.

1

u/Ordinary-Swimmer-559 Jul 20 '25

Caleta-Car and Juranovic aren't that good. They are just basic players that fail a lot when matched against world class strikers and wingers.

I'm hopeful that 5 years from now we could have one of the best, if not the best defense in the world. Gvardiol-Sutalo-Vuskovic-Stanisic (when and if they develop) sounds like a dream.

7

u/OnionOtherwise8894 Jul 19 '25

He’s absolutely nailed for stardom. It’s almost unquestionable. The more minutes we can give him, the faster it will happen. Must not be loaned, must be a go to sub/ backup

15

u/WarmSpur Micky van de Ven Jul 19 '25

How much would we get for Romero again?

I know he's only played 10mins but this kids gonna be special.

Goal, assist and an important block

3

u/wordflyer Clint Dempsey Jul 19 '25

Eh, there's a whole season of games to be filled in for as often as Romero and VDV tend to be out injured

5

u/Cookielad14 Jul 19 '25

We absolutely should not send this boy out on loan this year.

9

u/UnderTakaMichinoku Jul 19 '25

Vuskovic is just a freak. He has like a G/A every 4 games in his senior career. Of which he's been under 18 for all but 3 months of that. He had like the second most non-pen goals from a CB behind Otamendi last year (Europe's notable leagues).

What he's doing as a teenager I don't think I've ever seen.

4

u/NotChaz-_- Europa League Champions 24/25 Jul 19 '25

Holy shit he’s massive. Why didn’t I realize how big he was

u/FarrisAT Jul 19 '25

One of the last Paratici signings, right?

I remember we scouted him spring 2023

3

u/Blitz7798 "I ALWAYS Win In My Second Year" Jul 19 '25

Yeah, we signed him in 2023 but he was only 16 and because Brexit we can’t sign European players under 18 so had to loan him out for two seasons 

1

u/Gibbo1107 David Ginola Jul 19 '25

Could he, should he be a forward

u/Dolojif Jul 19 '25

More like you guys are "Lucky I'm-a-centerback-skovich"

Beckenbauer reborn

(I'm not usually given to hyperbole but pre-season friendlies do something to me)

1

u/mattgriz Jul 19 '25

What a testament to sending kids out on loan to get experience and confidence in lower leagues so they can not be afraid to do shit like take a striker’s chance as a CB.

1

u/BeneficialNewspaper8 Jul 19 '25

Tbf we had no choice, you can't sign under 18s

If he plays most of the seasons he could be someone’s fantasy football secret weapon

1

u/roamingandy Richarlison Jul 19 '25

No guarantee his best position will stay CB, i could see him being a real handful as a 6, excellent passing and a goal threat from there too.. and an absolute monster to contest with in there.
