After joining Hamburger SV on a season-long loan deal from Tottenham towards the end of the summer transfer window, Luka Vušković established himself as a key player for the Bundesliga side.
With his loan spell now set to come to an end, the 19-year-old will return to London as things stand – and he explained how that feels in an interview with Sport Bild.
“I'm torn. On the one hand, I’m happy because a lot of what was agreed with Tottenham has worked out in Hamburg. But I am also sad because I would very much like to stay here,” Vušković said.
“It’s well known that it is my wish to play for HSV alongside my brother Mario. But in football, you can’t have everything you want. From this summer onwards, I will be a Tottenham player again.”
Asked whether he believes there is a chance his stay at HSV could be extended, Vušković replied:
“I don’t know, I am neither an agent nor a club official. But if there is a chance, I would like to stay. The future will show what happens. But of course, if Tottenham see me as part of their plans, that would also be a very good situation for me. The most important thing for my development is that I play regularly.”
In any case, it's unclear whether he will stay at Tottenham, with several top European clubs said to be monitoring him. Reflecting on the reported interest, Vušković said:
“It's of course nice that my name is being linked with such clubs. I also don’t know whether everything that is written about me and other clubs is true. I'm a Tottenham player. We will see what happens in the summer.”
