Video: Tottenham's Luka Vuskovic scores a screamer that could challenge for the Puskas award
Luka Vuskovic has produced a moment of real quality that will excite Tottenham supporters, as the teenager grabbed his second goal of the season in style.
Tottenham Hotspur will be closely monitoring the progress of their on-loan stars, including Luka Vuskovic.
The 18-year-old has been making a mark in the German top flight with top performances for newly promoted Hamburg, which has pushed him into the spotlight far earlier than many expected.
Vuskovic’s top displays saw him secure back-to-back Bundesliga Player of the Month awards while also earning him a debut with the Croatia national side this season.
Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic scores superb goal against Werder Bremen
The centre-back has an eye for goal, having scored seven last term with Westerlo, and this season he has managed two, with the second an absolute beauty.
This came in Hamburg’s recent outing against Werder Bremen with Vuskovic grabbing the newly promoted side’s second of the night to put them in front.
His strike came following a set-piece delivery that saw him come up with an improvised scorpion kick finish, placing the ball well away from Werder Bremen’s shot stopper Nagata, who was rooted to the spot.

Spurs see rising potential in Luka Vuskovic
Vuskovic’s top displays have caught the attention of several other clubs, including Hamburg and Borussia Dortmund, who have shown interest in signing the Tottenham defender.
Spurs, however, are understood to be reluctant to sell the Croatian who made it into the WhoScored Team of the Year.
The 18-year-old could be an ace for Tottenham in the future under Thomas Frank, given his goal threat in the opposition box.
This season, we have seen Micky van de Ven’s output increase under the Dane, same with Cristian Romero, with both centre-backs now proving to be lethal in the opposition box.
If Spurs were to add Vuskovic into the mix, that would only increase their goal threat from set pieces.
