It’s been almost two years to take place, but on Saturday afternoon, the very classified defender Luka Vuskovic made his debut in Tottenham during their pre-season confrontation against Reading-and it was a fairly remarkable outing.
Vuskovic, 18, joined the northern London team earlier this month after their transfer from Hajduk Split was agreed in 2023.
After eating the Belgian side of Westerlo last season, Tottenham fans impatiently planned his first appearance under Thomas Frank – in particular after the Croatian made his international debut in qualification in the World Cup against the Czech Republic last month.
And he certainly did not disappoint. In fact, the central defender of adolescents was presented as a substitute for half-time against the reading of the Ligue 1 team and soon, the defender won his first decisive pass, by traversing a corner so that Will Lankshear opens the scoring.
Four minutes later, Vuskovic then scored his first goal for the club, choosing the lower corner with a superb finish after an excellent work of his colleague beginner Mohammed Kudus.

As you can imagine, the fans reacted en masse after Vuskovic scored a goal and a decisive pass in its early days.
One said, “Luka Vušković, are you serious ???
A second wrote: “I do not want to make great statements eight minutes after its unofficial beginnings against reading Ligue 1, but Luka Vuskovic is officially the best center in football history.”
A third commented: “Obviously, no need to react excessively because it is only a pre-season match, but Luka Vuskovic is the best player to have ever honored a field” and a fourth said: “The next great thing, Luka Vušković.”
A fifth added: “Luka Vuskovic moving like an absolute Rolls-Royce? Imagine my surprise. The masses were perhaps not aware of the level of the talent of Vuskovic, but I know that the majority of the fans of the Spurs were aware. A finish like this on her weaker left foot.”
