Luka Vuskovic is already emerging as an extremely sought-after player, less than four months after exiting Tottenham Hotspur without playing a single game for the Lilywhites.While many Spurs fans spent the entirety of last season salivating at Vuskovic’s performances at Hamburg, hardly anyone expected what was to follow.Rather than stepping into Tottenham’s starting eleven this term as many thought he would, the Lilywhites sold the centre-back to Brighton to help partially fund their squad rebuild.IncomingsAndrew RobertsonFreeMarcos SenesiFreeMartin DubravkaFreeJan Paul van Hecke£52mMateus Fernandes£85mSandro Tonali£100mSavinho£85mOmar Marmoush£60mTosin Adarabioyo£12mMykhailo MudrykLoanTotal spent£394mOutgoingsLuka Vuskovic£50mWill Lankshear£20mRadu Dragusin£21mAlejo Veliz£7.7mAlfie Devine£6mTynan Thompson£8mManor Solomon£7mCristian Romero£34.1mAshley Phillips£20mDjed Spence£30mKevin Danso£25mPape Matar Sarr£25.6mTotal received£254.8mTottenham’s net spend£139.2mSpurs’ decision to sell Vuskovic for £50m is already being widely criticised, with the 19-year-old being one of the best defenders on show in the Premier League so far this season.Reports over recent weeks have said that Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are already plotting moves for the former Tottenham man, but the trio may be about to be overtaken by another Premier League giant.L.

Liverpool view him as elite, and perfect to slot into Andoni Iraola’s system.”The Lilywhites have also retained a 20 per cent sell-on clause on Vuskovic. If the centre-back does end up costing £90m, the North Londoners could stand to earn around £18m from the deal.READ MORE: Tottenham make Conor Gallagher transfer stance clear amid Premier League interestThe post Liverpool 'surprised' by Tottenham's £50m summer decision, now poised to take advantage appeared first on Spurs Web.
