With upcoming matches on the horizon and Tottenham’s ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad, new names are emerging as potential stars for the club.
Spurs have gained a reputation for nurturing young talent in recent years, with players like Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, and Pape Matar Sarr showcasing the club’s focus on youth development.
Now, fresh rumours suggest two new young players could soon join their ranks.
One standout name is Croatian defender Luka Vuskovic, a 17-year-old who is set to officially join Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2025.
Tottenham must call back young loan player to fend off Real Madrid
Originally signed from Hajduk Split in 2023, Vuskovic is currently on loan at Westerlo in Belgium, where he has already built an impressive record: four goals and one assist in just 14 matches.
His potential has not gone unnoticed. The Guardian included him in their prestigious "Next Generation" list, highlighting the 60 most promising young talents in world football such as Lamine Yamal from FC Barcelona, Estevao from Palmeiras, etc.
Interest in Vuskovic is widespread, with Real Madrid reportedly monitoring the youngster’s progress.
The Spanish giants see his impending Premier League debut as a chance to showcase his skills on one of football’s biggest stages.
"Luka will be the best of all, I’m convinced. The rest of us were defenders, but he can also play in midfield," said his brother Mario on Vuskovic's versatility and talent.
Vuskovic performances at the senior level have only fuelled the buzz surrounding him. Experts describe his potential as "world-class," and his development in Belgium has validated those high expectations.
On the international stage, he represents Croatia's U21 team and recently competed in a UEFA U21 European Championship qualifier against Georgia.
Although Croatia suffered a heartbreaking defeat in a penalty shootout, this result unexpectedly benefits Tottenham.
A bright future at Spurs
Vuskovic will now be available for the start of the 2025/26 pre-season, something that wouldn’t have been possible had Croatia progressed in the tournament.
Tottenham can look forward to welcoming Luka Vuskovic as a vital addition to their squad for the 2025/26 season.
LUKA VUŠKOVIĆ CAN'T STOP SCORING!!! 3-2!!!

His solid defending and attacking contributions show he could be a key player for the club’s future.
With Vuskovic arrival and Tottenham’s commitment to investing in young talent, the club is clearly laying the groundwork for long-term success on both domestic and international stages.
