I haven’t talked to any clubs or agents, so I’m just focused on the World Cup now, and after the World Cup, whatever happens, I think every option is a good path for me, so I don’t need to think too much about anything.”View Tweet: https://t.co/JkWRlaJJD3talkSPORT understands Tottenham are looking to offer him a new contract and do not consider him for sale.Vuskovic retains his dream of playing with his brother at Hamburg but doesn’t seem hopeful of it happening.What did Luka Vuskovic say about Roberto De Zerbi?However, he did also seem excited to experience life under new manager Roberto De Zerbi.In a different interview with Nova TV, he said: “Playing with my brother at HSV would be a dream and a dream come true for me, but it’s hardly possible. I don’t know what else to say except – impossible.“I think he’s [De Zerbi] a top-class coach. He likes attacking football, he likes build-up play, and I really like that. I hope we’ll work well together in the future.”talkSPORT’s Luka Vuskovic verdictTowards the end of the season, European football expert Andy Brassell even told Tottenham to rebuild the squad around him.Vuskovic has excelled beyond comprehension in the BundesligaGetty“He’s been one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga this season,” he told talkSPORT.com.“He’s been the difference between Hamburg staying up and going down.“A teenager to have the leadership qualities he has, as well as the positional sense, the strength, the sangfroid, it’s quite remarkable.“When you look at Tottenham next season, it feels to me that when they have a bit of a rethink, I think they’re more likely to include Vuskovic in the team than use him as collateral.“He would be a great part of a Tottenham refresh. For them to have more leaders is a great thing, and he’s definitely one of those.“But the way he was talking after that game [against Freiburg] was really interesting, he said, ‘It’s 99 per cent my last game here.’Vuskovic is yet to make a competitive appearance for Tottenham, after being loaned out following his arrival last summerShutterstock Editorial“So, of course, there’s a little bit of him that would love to go back there and play with [his older brother] Mario and have a very good ending at Hamburg, but I think he’s realised that he’s kind of outgrown the club.“He knows that other Bundesliga clubs and other big Bundesliga clubs would be interested, like Bayern and [Borussia] Dortmund and not limited to Germany.“He’s realised that in the real world it’s just not possible for him to stay at Hamburg. He’s just too good to stay there.“He does have this contract with Spurs, and he’s got an opportunity to really do something with them.“I wonder if his changing his tone is A getting to the end of the season or B whether De Zerbi has had a word with him already, or someone has had a word on De Zerbi’s behalf.“That would not surprise me at all, someone who’s a great defender but is confident on the ball as well.Croatia international Vuskovic is Hamburg’s joint-top scorer in the Bundesliga season with four goalsGetty“I think he would be a massive, massive plus for Spurs next season.“If you’re looking to make collateral, sell someone else because he’s got a terrific future ahead of him, and injury notwithstanding, you bring Vuskovic back, play him, and the sky’s the limit.“You’d be able to sell him for more in 2-3 years time if you wanted to.“Ideally, I suppose he becomes a cornerstone for Spurs over the next 6-8 years, but I think you have to be realistic and say he’s got a market value as well.“Clearly, there’s going to be a bit of a rebuild there, but there’s definitely other players I’d rather sell than him.”Tottenham transfer updateVuskovic is not the only transfer situation at Tottenham right now with another loan star the subject of interest.Record-breaking talent Alfie Devine is in the middle of uncertainty surrounding his future.The club’s youngest-ever goalscorer impressed on loan at Preston North End in the Championship this season with eight goals and eight assists.Devine made 48 appearances across all competitions last seasonGettyAccording to Football.London eight clubs are interested in signing him permanently.Preston had agreed an option to sign the 21-year-old but they will face competition with teams, including Scottish champions Celtic and relegated Wolves keen.Meanwhile, the club are also on the verge of signing Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers from Liverpool and Bournemouth, respectively.World Cup WhatsAppDon't miss an update from talkSPORT in our dedicated World Cup WhatsApp channel.Search for ‘talkSPORT World Cup in your ‘Updates’ tab on WhatsApp and we’ll drop the proper, unfiltered football chat straight to your lock screen—no fluff, just pure talkSPORT energy.It’s where the real debate happens from proper fan reactions and big talking points and yes, Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Hara pointing and laughing at every nightmare in America, Mexico and Canada – even their own.
