Luka Vuksovic’s Tottenham future will be decided in the summer, his agent has confirmed. The Croatian defender joined Hamburg last summer on loan and has enjoyed a brilliant campaign.

That has seen Vuskovic linked with a number of clubs including Barcelona and Bayern Munich . Amid those rumours, his agent has revealed that his future will be clarified in the summer.

Speaking to Mundo Deportivo , Pini Zahavi said: "I can't comment on anything at this time. The player still belongs to Hamburg and is completely focused there.

"I can give an update in exactly two months, that is, after his loan ends and he officially returns to Tottenham ."

Vuskovic himself has also spoken out on his future, having expressed a desire to one day play in La Liga . Speaking to Tribuna earlier this season, he said: "To be honest, it's not really the Premier League that I desired.

"I didn't envisage playing in England. I've always only thought about the Croatian league and Hajduk, but among the European leagues, Spain was in a way the closest to my aspirations, and now the German league, which is a very big league. One day, I'd like to play in Spain, that's all."

Meanwhile, former Spurs star Ramon Vega recently slammed Spurs for the decision to send the young defender out on loan. He also claimed that Vuskovic would never make his debut for the North London side.

He shared on social media: “This player is not coming back to Spurs! Another of many players the Spurs had a chance with, but they made the wrong decision.

“This is an example of the problem Spurs have been having within the football department! A total neglect.

“They will make good money, for sure, but there’s no football direction within the club. Off to Bayern he goes, no wonder I will not blame him.”

Vuskovic, 19, has made 24 appearances for Hamburg so far this season and has scored five goals. His eye-catching performances come amid issues in North London.

Spurs are under real threat of dropping into the Championship following a woeful season. The North London side sit 16th in the table but just one point above the relegation zone after a 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
