The Seagulls have secured a defensive powerhouse. This Croatian wonderkid combines elite aerial dominance with spectacular goalscoring flair, arriving on the south coast in a record-breaking summer deal.
Brighton and Hove Albion have officially announced the record breaking signing of Luka Vuskovic on a potential £50 million deal from Tottenham Hotspur.
Vuskovic signs as one of the most eye-catching deals of the summer transfer window so far. Largely regarded as one of the best young players in world football, it could be very exciting to see him in the Albion colours this season!
Known for a variety of technical abilities and astute defending, the Croation teenage defender once broke a record in the Bundesliga for the most aerial duals won in a single game (18). A monster in the air! As a 17-year-old 'wonderkid' in Belgium, he even scored his first overhead (bicycle kick) in a game... reminder, as a centre back.
Keep an eye out for this level of athleticism in his game, as Vuskovic has been known to attempt the spectacular from corners and crosses into the box.
Vuskovic brings a direct replacement for Jan Paul Van Hecke, who made the switch to Spurs in the opposite direction.
Safe to say, the Seagulls are enjoying their busy transfer window so far, and it is certainly not done yet.
