Football

Teenage centre-back Luka Vuskovic has scored four goals for Hamburger SV in Germany's Bundesliga this season.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Luka Vuskovic, 18, is making a significant impact during his loan spell at German club Hamburger SV. The Croatian centre-back has scored four goals in 17 Bundesliga appearances for Hamburg since joining in August 2025.

Vuskovic scored his first goal on 20 September 2025, in a 2-1 victory over Heidenheim, ending Hamburg's seven-year wait for a Bundesliga goal at the Volksparkstadion. He also found the net against Werder Bremen, Freiburg, and Bayern Munich.

His performances earned him the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month award for both September and October. Vuskovic also won 18 aerial duels in a single match against Union Berlin, a feat not seen in Europe's top five leagues for five years. Tottenham's plan is to bring him back in the summer.
