Tottenham ‘agree’ £12m deal to sign record-setting defender weeks after transfer window

Tottenham have reportedly agreed another new signing weeks after the closure of the summer transfer window.

Spurs were busy in the summer, largely battling to find a way to improve despite the loss of star man Harry Kane, and so far, the club’s recruitment is looking rather good. Ange Postecoglou’s men drew with Arsenal away from home in the North London derby over the weekend, and they remain unbeaten so far.

Though, the search for new talent is a never-ending one, and Spurs have reportedly agreed a new signing weeks after the window slammed shut.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign youngster Luka Vuskovic from Hajduk Split.

He tweeted: “EXCL: Tottenham have completed the agreement to sign Luka Vusković from Hajduk Split, here we go confirmed — done deal #THFC It’s all sealed on clubs and player side. 16 year old top talented centre back will join Spurs in 2025. Exclusive story, confirmed.”

The defender has already made eight senior appearances for Split, while he has played for Croatia at three age groups so far, currently representing the under-17s having already played for the under-15s and under-16s. The centre-back is the youngest ever player to play and score in the UEFA Youth League.

Reports elsewhere have suggested that the deal will reach as much as £12million, with the contract running until the summer of 2030.
