Brighton submit first offer to Spurs for HSV's dream signing Luka Vušković
The Athletic's David Ornstein reported Brighton & Hove Albion sent a first bid to Tottenham Hotspur for the signing of Luka Vušković. According to the well-respected transfer reporter, the offer is £30m (approximately €35 million) to sign the highly-rated center-back.
Ornstein also added the Croat favours the Conference League participants as his next destination, with mutual trust built with German coach Fabian Hürzeler. However, the fee looks to be very low for the 19-year-old after his flawless campaign with Hamburger SV on loan.
Since they couldn't afford his market value, HSV already gave up on turning the move permanent for the player who has a contract until 2030 with Spurs. A potential loan extension could be an option late in the window if Vušković stays with his current club. Roberto Di Zerbi's team signed Marcos Senesi from Bournemouth on free transfer, while they are also courting Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke.
