Tottenham could be set to lose a highly rated young talent this summer, with reports indicating the player is now actively pushing for a move away from the club.
This development comes during a pivotal transfer window for Spurs, as the club’s hierarchy work to restore the team to the upper echelons of the Premier League.
So far, the focus has been on arrivals—two signings have already been confirmed, and a fee has been agreed with Brighton for Jan Paul van Hecke, who is set to become the third new face.
Talks are also underway for Savinho to bolster the attack, while Sandro Tonali remains a midfield target.
However, amid the drive to strengthen, there is growing concern over potential departures, with Luka Vuskovic’s future now shrouded in uncertainty.
Vuskovic Pushing for Spurs Exit
Although Tottenham have reinforced their defence this summer, those additions may now prompt Vuskovic to seek an exit in the coming weeks. According to journalist Alex Crook, the 19-year-old is pressing to leave, eager for consistent first-team minutes rather than another loan spell.
Brighton have already shown interest, tabling a £35 million bid—rejected separately from the Van Hecke negotiations. Whether the Seagulls will return with an improved offer remains to be seen, but Vuskovic is said to be discontent with the prospect of staying put.
This poses a potential setback for Tottenham, who have long viewed the Croatian as one of the most promising young defenders around. With his loan stint at Hamburg now over, questions over his next move will need resolving shortly.
Spurs Hold the Cards in Vuskovic Standoff
Despite the uncertainty, Tottenham appear to be in a commanding position regarding Vuskovic’s future. The defender is under contract until 2030, giving the club considerable leverage and no urgent need to sell this summer.
Coupled with his ongoing development needs, Spurs have the final say—whether that means another loan or integrating him into the first team. While cashing in could generate useful funds for an unproven talent, any deal would likely require a substantial fee, well above the £35 million already turned down.
