Brighton & Hove Albion have made a £30million offer to sign defender Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham Hotspur.
There is also strong interest from leading clubs elsewhere in Europe — but Vuskovic’s idea is to join a side like Brighton as the next step in his career and then potentially progress from there.
The 19-year-old knows of Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler from Germany — having spent the season on loan at Hamburg, where his brother Mario also plays — and vice versa, so there is a mutual trust and Vuskovic believes Brighton have shown themselves to be a good developing ground for young talent.
Brighton’s bid for Vuskovic comes amid Tottenham’s pursuit of defender Jan Paul van Hecke.

Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg checked in on the news as well:
🚨📈 BREAKING | Understand Luka Vuskovic has already reached a full verbal agreement with Brighton following very positive talks with Fabian Hürzeler and the club’s hierarchy.
Several other clubs have already been turned down. Brighton have submitted a €35m offer to Tottenham post @David_Ornstein.
The deal remains complicated, but Brighton are pushing hard and continue to fight for the transfer. Other clubs are also planning to enter the race. @SkySportDE

This…is…shocking. To be clear, there is nothing that indicates that Tottenham Hotspur will actually accept this seemingly lowball €35 million offer for the Croatian center-back.
It seems doubtful that Tottenham Hotspur would even consider such a number, but this does reinforce the notion that Vušković is open to a move away from Tottenham, who already has ample resources at center-back (at least at the moment).
Bayern Munich has had a long-term interest in the 19-year-old and was even rumored to be kicking the tires on a move for him earlier this year. Could this new give the Bavarians a reason to throw its hat into the ring?
