Here is a summary of the key points from the article:
-
Tottenham Hotspur have signed 16-year-old defender Luka Vuskovic from Croatian club Hajduk Split for around £12 million.
-
Vuskovic has signed a contract with Tottenham until 2030.
-
Tottenham fended off interest from other European clubs to secure the highly-rated Croatian’s signature.
-
However, Vuskovic cannot join Tottenham until he turns 18 in 2025 due to his age.
-
Vuskovic has already made 11 appearances for Hajduk Split’s first team aged just 16, becoming their youngest ever goalscorer.
-
He featured heavily as Hajduk Split’s U19s reached the 2022-23 UEFA Youth League final and has been capped at youth level by Croatia.
-
Vuskovic has missed the start of this season due to injury but is seen as an excellent prospect for the future.
I feel like that’s a lot for a 16 year old… Hopefully he developed well.

City bid £10m for him I believe. Several other clubs were in for him too. Seems like there must be some strong data on him that derisks the purchase.
