Brighton & Hove Albion are continuing their pursuit of Tottenham defender Luka Vusković as they look to strengthen their defensive options with one of Europe’s most highly rated young centre-backs.
Softfootball understands that Brighton have maintained talks with Tottenham after seeing three bids rejected for the 19-year-old Croatian. The Premier League club view Vusković as a key target and believe his profile fits their long-term recruitment strategy of developing young talents with high potential.
Vusković has impressed during his loan spell at Hamburger SV, where his performances in the Bundesliga have increased his reputation and market value. Tottenham are believed to value the defender highly, with reports suggesting a possible asking price around £60 million or more, although earlier discussions placed his valuation closer to £45 million.
Brighton’s interest is also linked to manager Fabian Hürzeler’s connections to German football, with the coach familiar with the environment where Vusković has developed. The Seagulls believe the Croatian defender can continue improving within their system.
The teenager is reportedly keen on securing regular first-team football and could consider a move if it provides a clearer pathway to consistent Premier League action.
The transfer pursuit highlights Brighton’s continued focus on identifying emerging talents, while Tottenham face a decision over whether to keep one of their most promising defensive prospects or consider a major sale.
