Spurs are at a very important juncture in their history. They are teetering just above the Premier League relegation zone, and the drop would be catastrophic. There are reports that some of their very best players are looking to leave the club, with centre-back pairing Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven seemingly edging their way out.

Yeah, I heard that. I don't know what will happen, we'll talk about that in the summer. I'm under contract at Tottenham until 2030, so after the World Cup, we'll see what we'll do and how to proceed. As for me, I wouldn't mind staying at HSV. My brother Mario should start playing again in autumn, so I'd get the chance to play with him, which is my biggest wish right now. You know how football is, you never know what's going to happen,

Vuskovic was the man of the moment last weekend, his second-half header securing Hamburg an unlikely 2-2 draw and a first point against Bayern since 2014. Yet it was his maturity in dealing with Harry Kane at the back that caught the eye. "It's not just about winning headers and tackles or scoring goals: he's somebody who can organise a defence. That's something you find very rarely," Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus told Sky Sports Germany.

Luka Vuskovic started out at Hajduk Split in Croatia, debuting at 15 years of age and became the club's youngest-ever goalscorer in a league match five days after his 16th birthday. It was a sign of things to come. The 6ft 4in central defender, who is currently on Tottenham's books, hails from a family of footballers which includes grandfather Mario, father Danijel and brother, also Mario.

I don't know if Tottenham only sees him as a future player or if they would be open to a transfer if he received an adequate offer,

Barcelona are reportedly set to sign a new center-back in the summer transfer window in a bid to boost Hansi Flick's backline. A new report now claims there Barca have added two more names to their list of targets in the shape of Wolfsburg's Konstantinos Koulierakis and Luka Vuskovic who is at Hamburg (but on loan from Tottenham). The two youngsters are shining in the Bundesliga and their performances mean they seem to have caught the eye of the Catalan giants.

Alexander Rssing-Lelesiit did not play for Hamburg in Sunday's stellar win, and he will hope that his career has more decisive contributions than this one in store. As the final whistle went on a breathless Nordderby victory over Werder Bremen, the 18-year-old bobbed in front of the visitors' bench and celebrated wildly, prompting some afters between the two squads in a game that bubbled excitedly without exploding into disorder.
