In Hamburg’s goalless draw with Union Berlin, Vuskovic became the first player in over five seasons to win 18 aerial duels in a single game in Europe’s top five leagues. Tottenham officials are keeping regular checks on the Croatian international, as they generally do with all their loan players, and they were in attendance at the weekend to watch him essay a starring role in Hamburg’s 4-0 thrashing of Mainz.

Now, according to an exclusive report from TBR Football, Tottenham could decide to recall Vuskovic from loan in January and simultaneously also invest in a central defender. Thomas Frank wants a centre-back in the New Year, and the Lilywhites are working to find options.

“Vuskovic is doing very well, and at just 18, many scouts and clubs think he is one of the best young centre-backs in Europe,” reveals TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.

“Speaking to sources close to the club, they acknowledge there is a clause that could see him return in January. Could we see Vuskovic come back and then wait until the summer? I would not rule it out.”
