Tottenham reject £35m bid for defender Luka Vuskovic from Brighton

Tottenham Hotspur has dismissed a £35 million offer from Brighton for defender Luka Vuskovic, according to Sky Sports. The 19-year-old defender, who is coming off a successful loan spell at Hamburg, is now facing increased competition following Tottenham’s recent signings, including Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi. These acquisitions highlight Spurs' defensive overhaul strategy under manager Roberto De Zerbi. Brighton continues to show interest, recognizing that Vuskovic could gain more first-team opportunities with them than at Tottenham. The club prefers to explore loan options for Vuskovic rather than a permanent departure, as they believe in his long-term potential despite his current positioning on the depth chart.
