Tottenham Hotspur loanee comments on playing against Harry Kane, he's 'not happy'

Tottenham Hotspur have high hopes for Luka Vuskovic and saw the defender take on Harry Kane in the Bundesliga last weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur fans can feel pretty excited about the future under Thomas Frank.

Xavi Simons’ recent move to Tottenham has dazzled supporters, given the Dutch playmaker’s enormous potential.

Frank is also taking a look at young talent at the club, as Daniel Batty trained with Tottenham’s first team last week.

The likes of Micky van de Ven, Pape Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Destiny Udogie still have major potential – and we cannot forget about Luka Vuskovic.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Vuskovic on his performance against Harry Kane

Tottenham agreed to sign Vuskovic from Hajduk Split back in 2023, teeing up a deal for the teenager to arrive in 2025.

After a loan spell at Westerlo, Vuskovic finally joined Spurs this summer and caught the eye in pre-season.

Tottenham still loaned Vuskovic out to Hamburger SV, handing him a chance to play first-team football in Germany.

The 18-year-old made his first Bundesliga start last weekend as he featured against Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich.

Kane scored twice in a 5-0 Bayern victory, and Vuskovic has admitted being unhappy with his display against the former Spurs hero.

Speaking to Kicker, Vuskovic admitted that it was ‘tough’ to play against Kane, branding him one of the very best strikers in the game.

Vuskovic added that he wasn’t happy with how he played, believing that he still could have done better even against an elite striker like Kane.

“It was a tough task against Harry Kane, one of the best strikers in the world, but I’m not happy with how I handled it,” he added.

HSV players impressed with Luka Vuskovic

Few 18-year-old defenders would manage to hold their own against Kane, so Vuskovic shouldn’t be too hard on himself.

Vuskovic has impressed HSV teammates, who told Kicker that they like what they have seen so far.

“Luka has been very present from day one and a player who will help us progress,” said goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes.

Nicolai Remberg added, “He brings a lot of the qualities we need. Maybe he’s still lacking a few routines, but I would never say the task was too difficult for him at the start. He will really help us.”

It’s clear that Vuskovic is still settling in at Hamburg, but his teammates appear to be confident that he will have a great season before returning to Tottenham.

Hamburg take on Heidenheim in the Bundesliga this weekend and will hope to bag their first victory of the season, after one draw and two defeats so far.
