Luka Vuskovic sends Tottenham a major message plus Manor Solomon’s big decision

Tottenham Hotspur had a challenging weekend on the south coast, but there were positive developments among their loan players. The club has eleven players out on loan, gaining valuable experience across various leagues, including England, Spain, and Belgium. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is currently on loan at Marseille, but since his future lies away from Tottenham, he will only be mentioned briefly. One player who stands out is 17-year-old Luka Vuskovic, who is set to join Spurs next summer. He has been playing alongside Alfie Devine at Westerlo and has made an impression with his performances.

This past week, Luka Vuskovic starred for Westerlo, scoring twice in a match against Beerschot. His presence on the field was notable as he consistently pushed forward, distributing passes and contributing defensively. He scored a header to equalize for Westerlo and then netted another goal to level the match again later. Vuskovic took seven shots during the game, with four on target, won seven aerial duels, and made significant defensive contributions. Despite his impressive performance, he expressed disappointment about only securing one point, emphasizing the need for the team to focus more defensively.

Vuskovic is sending a clear message to Tottenham with his strong performances, showing that he is ready for first-team football. Manager Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged his talent and is not looking to hinder his progress. Alfie Devine also had a good outing, playing the full 90 minutes in a deeper midfield role. He contributed defensively with three tackles and an interception while also taking two shots and creating a key opportunity.

Alejo Veliz played 83 minutes for Espanyol in La Liga, where they achieved a 2-1 victory against Mallorca. The young striker worked hard, winning aerial duels and contributing defensively despite limited touches. He has made nine appearances this season, scoring once and gaining valuable minutes.

Bryan Gil got 31 minutes off the bench for Girona in a win against Athletic Bilbao. He has been accumulating game time, playing in both La Liga and the Champions League, totaling 11 matches so far this season with one goal to his name.

Manor Solomon has been sidelined due to injury and missed the last four matches for Leeds United. However, he is expected to return soon and has been called up by Israel for international duty. His club will be cautious about his participation with the national team, given his recent absence from matches.

Dane Scarlett had his most extended appearance for Oxford United, contributing to a 1-1 draw against Portsmouth. He played a crucial role in the equalizer and has been steadily increasing his game time, with 142 minutes across six matches.
