WhoScored have revealed their Team of the Season so far from Europe’s top five leagues, and one Tottenham defender makes the cut.Several Spurs stars have made strong starts to the season, and if one is to judge the player of the season so far, a few contenders spring to mind, including two of Tottenham’s summer signings.Mohammed Kudus leads the Premier League in several metrics, while another summer signing, Joao Palhinha, has been praised as an inspired addition after the impact he has made.Meanwhile, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have been nearly flawless at the back in what has been a much-improved Spurs defensive unit under Thomas Frank.However, it is not any of those four players who have made the Team of the Season, but rather an 18-year-old who is getting his first taste of top-level football.Photo by Lampson Yip/Lampson Yip/Clicks ImagesTottenham’s Luka Vuskovic ranks among the best players in EuropeWhoScored have compiled their highest-rated eleven since the start of this season based on their metrics, and Luka Vuskovic gets into the side after his impressive start at Hamburg.Vuskovic was recently named the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month for September after he helped the newly promoted Bundesliga club keep two back-to-back cleansheets.The Tottenham youngster has also broken a five-year defensive record for most aerial duels won in a single game across Europe’s top five leagues.Now, he has made it into WhoScored’s Team of the Season with an average rating of 7.72 across his four appearances.Team of the season so far | Europe's Top Five Leagues 🔥🇪🇺Who’s been your standout player?
