Tottenham Hotspur’s new signing Luka Vuskovic has now been compared to Manchester City’s Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol.Spurs had a great summer, but they didn’t just shut down their transfer activity after the window closed. The North Londoners were looking for opportunities and Vuskovic, 16, became the main target.Tottenham made this decision official this week.View tweetTottenham’s Luka Vuskovic compared to Josko GvardiolTottenham’s new signing Luka Vuskovic is one of the most talented defenders of his era. Numerous clubs across Europe were keeping an eye on the Croatian, but it was Spurs who beat everyone else to his signature this week.Vskovic is still only 16, but there are already signs that he can become a top-class defender. He has the potential to reach the top and Zoran Vulic, who is said to have worked individually with the teenager in the past, believes he is in the same group as Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol.Speaking to Sportske Novosti, the Hajduk Split legend said: “What he has is an exceptional feeling with the ball.
Many say that he and his brother (Mario Vuskovic of Hamburg) lack speed, but I don’t know who the fastest stopper in the world is. “Besides today’s fast and light forwards, solid stoppers have little chance. The Vušković family plays football with their heads, and there are very few of them.“I don’t want to burden Luka with big announcements, but I have to put him in the category of players like Gvardiol and (Josip) Sutalo. That’s how I see his future because I know his physical and mental capabilities.”TBR View:When Josko Gvardiol was still at RB Leipzig, Tottenham were heavily linked on more than one occasion with trying to sign him.The 21-year-old is an elite defender. He has been exceptional in Germany and Croatia and the fact that Pep Guardiola decided to break the bank to sign him shows just how good he is.Tottenham never really stood a chance in the race to sign Gvardiol, so they brought in a young player who could one day be as good as the Manchester City defender.It will be interesting to see how Vuskovic develops at Spurs in the years to come.
