Luka Vuskovic explains why he chose Tottenham over Manchester City

Speaking to Nieuwsblad, Vuskovic shared how the move unfolded and why he was drawn to Tottenhamâs project.
âManchester City was the first club to approach me. Shortly after, my dad told me Tottenham were also interested. When I heard the details, I was convinced,â the Croatian defender explained.
Vuskovic has spent the current season on loan at Westerlo in Belgium, where his performances in the Jupiler Pro League have been impressive.
Heâs showcased his defensive prowess while also contributing six goals, earning rave reviews and raising expectations among Spurs fans ahead of his return to London.
The teenager also expressed his excitement about the opportunity to play alongside Tottenhamâs top defenders in the near future, saying, âPlaying alongside defenders like Micky van de Ven or Romero is a dream. You naturally make progress in such an environment and you have to because the Premier League is such an intense competition.â

For Vuskovic, this decision appears to be paying off, and fans will be eager to see how his journey unfolds once he arrives at Hotspur Way.
