Spurs loan watch: Disappointing day for Tottenham youngster

It was a disappointing day for Spurs teenage loanee Luka Vuskovic and KVC Westerlo as they drew 1-1 at home to OH Leuven in the Belgian Pro League.

Vuskovic, who joins Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2025 ahead of the 25/26 season, played in his fifth straight game for the Belgian outfit.

Other than in his second appearance, when he picked up an injury whilst scoring, the Croatian defender has played ninety minutes in all of his games for Westerlo.

Vuskovic's side took the lead after 14 minutes through Abedire Mebude but were pegged back just five minutes later and that was the last goal of the game despite another 70 minutes of play.

Despite the frustrating result, it was another good performance from Vuskovic. The central defender made three clearances, won 3/4 aerial duels, completed three accurate long balls, created a chance, and even had two shots.

As a result of the draw, KVC Westerlo are now on ten points from their first five games. Still a solid return, but underwhelming when considering it was nine points from the first three games.

Next up, Vuskovic and his Westerlo counterparts travel to Genk, for the final Belgian Pro League game before the September international break. Genk's game against Anderlecht this weekend was postponed so their hosts would have the optimal preparation for their Europa League qualifier in midweek. Coincidentally, Anderlecht, who are currently top of the league, are Westerlo's first opponents after the international break.

The showdown with Genk is on Friday night, and will kick off at 19:45 BST, 14:45 ET.

In between the games with Genk and Anderlecht is the international break. Vuskovic has been called up to numerous Croatia age group sides, so it will be interesting to see which one he gets called up to on this occasion.
