Luka Vuskovic made a cracking start to his Tottenham career, bagging a goal and an assist on his debut. The young Croatian defender took no time at all to show Spurs fans what he's made of.
Spurs' New Star
The 18-year-old finally joined the north London club this month after his move from Hajduk Split was agreed in 2023. With the deal worth up to £12 million, Spurs clearly saw something special in the lad. And boy, did he deliver on his first appearance!
A Dream Debut
Vuskovic came on as a half-time substitute and within just four minutes, he'd set up a goal for Will Lankshear with a clever flick-on from a corner. But the best was yet to come - the Croatian went on to score a goal himself, firing home a smart finish from a cut-back by Mohamed Kudus.
Fans Go Wild
Spurs supporters were buzzing with Vuskovic's instant impact. One fan on social media hailed him as a "generational talent", while another said the league would be "in trouble" with him around. Even Vuskovic himself was chuffed with his dream debut, saying he was "very happy" with his stats and the team's clean sheet win.
What's Next?
With a goal, an assist, and a vital goal-line clearance on his debut, Vuskovic has certainly hit the ground running at Spurs. The young defender will be keen to keep up his good form over pre-season and stake his claim for a regular starting spot under new boss Thomas Frank. If he keeps this up, the Premier League better watch out - there's a new star in town!
