Vuskovic, who joined Spurs from Hajduk Split in 2023 but is yet to make a senior appearance for the club, enjoyed a breakout year on loan at Hamburg, featuring 30 times and making his full international debut for Croatia. His impressive form has earned him a spot in Zlatko Dalic’s 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup, where he could potentially face England next week. The Seagulls' pursuit of Vuskovic comes as they continue discussions with Tottenham over the potential sale of fellow central defender Jan Paul van Hecke, for whom two bids have already been rejected. Brighton aims to bolster their ranks ahead of their return to European competition in the Conference League, while Tottenham is looking to rebound after a challenging 2025-26 season that saw them narrowly avoid relegation and go through three managers.
