Luka Vuskovic: The 'monster' goal-scoring centre-back 'born once in 100 years' on his way to Tottenham

Description

The pendulum of tactical trends has swung violently back in favour of the imposing, superhuman centre-back, and it's a direction that serves well for 17-year-old Luka Vuskovic.

Already capped by Croatia at Under-21 level, the defender is rapidly rising up the European football ladder. Next up on his journey is north London with Tottenham Hotspur, who reached an agreement last year to sign Vuskovic after he turns 18 in 2025.

Powerful and precise, macho and massive, Vuskovic is making waves on the continent that are becoming impossible to ignore. By the time he sets foot through the doors at Spurs, fans should be well aware of his game and what he can help them achieve.

So who is this menace in both boxes that Tottenham have bought from the Balkans? GOAL takes a deep dive into the world of Vuskovic...

Premier League football returns to action following the international break as Tottenham host West Ham on Saturday afternoon.

Ange Postecoglou's side experienced a crushing 3-2 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion just before the international break, squandering a two-goal lead at halftime to ultimately fall to the Seagulls.

As a result, Spurs have slipped to ninth place in the Premier League table, with a busy schedule ahead that includes matches across three different competitions.

Julen Lopetegui's West Ham United are looking to show they can build on their commanding 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town at the London Stadium. Lopetegui has faced his share of criticism since taking the helm, despite West Ham's record being fairly comparable to that of their fellow London clubs.

Currently sitting in 12th place with eight points from their first seven games, the Hammers' points total is the lowest they've recorded at this stage in the last five seasons.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Team news & squads

Tottenham team news

Spurs fans eagerly await news on whether skipper Son Heung-min will be able to recover from a thigh strain in time for the clash with West Ham. Initially called up for South Korea's World Cup 2026 qualifiers, Son withdrew due to the injury, leaving his status uncertain.

The South Korean star joins Richarlison and Lucas Bergvall as potential exclusions for the London derby, though Bergvall, who picked up a minor calf strain while with Sweden, was not expected to start on Saturday anyway. Meanwhile, Wilson Odobert remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.

Despite a disappointing second half at the Amex two weeks back, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou will likely field a largely unchanged lineup. However, Timo Werner is expected to step aside if Son is cleared by the medical team.

Tottenham Hotspur possible XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son

West Ham team news

West Ham's only injury concern is in the attacking department, as summer acquisition Niclas Fullkrug continues to deal with an Achilles issue. He missed the international window with Germany and is questionable for the upcoming match.

Nevertheless, manager Julen Lopetegui is unlikely to change a winning strategy, especially with Michail Antonio looking to strike fear into Tottenham once again.

The Jamaica international has found the back of the net six times against Spurs, marking his best tally against any single opponent. Antonio's early goal against Ipswich was set up by Jarrod Bowen, who will carry the Hammers' offensive spark cutting in from the right before firing off shots at the opponent's goal.

West Ham United possible XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Rodriguez, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio

Man Utd women player ratings vs Tottenham: Terrific Elisabeth Terland keeps Red Devils perfect in WSL as Mary Earps-replacement Phallon Tullis-Joyce continues to impress

Elisabeth Terland opened her Manchester United goal-scoring account with a quickfire double as the Red Devils beat Tottenham 3-0 on Sunday to maintain their perfect start to the Women's Super League season.

Spurs made a ferocious start as their high-press caught the home side unawares, with goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce having to make two excellent stops early on. United were, in fact, second-best for much of the first half, but grabbed a stunning opener through Terland's volleyed strike in the 44th minute.

The Red Devils, who thumped Tottenham 4-0 in May at Wembley to win last season's FA Cup, then doubled their lead in first-half stoppage-time as ex-Brighton ace Terland once again finished off Celin Bizet's cross into the box.

The result was put beyond doubt when fellow former Seagull, Maya Le Tissier, converted from the spot in the 59th minute after Ashleigh Neville handled in the box, meaning Marc Skinner's team have won each of their three league games to start the campaign, leaving them level on points with defending champions Chelsea.

Arsenal player ratings vs Tottenham: Gladiator Gabriel delivers Gunners derby joy as Jurrien Timber proves his worth & Kai Havertz shows ugly side to pile misery on Spurs & Ange Postecoglou

Gabriel Magalhaes’ bullet second half header gave injury ravaged Arsenal a fabulous 1-0 victory at bitter rivals Spurs and moved them within two points of Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta’s side were without seven senior players for the first North London derby of the season, including captain Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, but they coped excellently despite their high profile absentees to edge a tight and scrappy affair.

Gabriel’s header from Bukayo Saka’s corner 20 minutes after the interval proved to be the difference between the sides, with the hosts unable to find a way through Arsenal's defence as the clock ticked down.
