Vushkovic: I turned down Manchester City for Spurs, who treated me like a top project

October 28th, defender Luka Vushkovic, who was loaned out to Hamburg by Tottenham, recently accepted an interview and revealed that before joining Tottenham, he rejected an invitation from Manchester City.

In September 2023, Vushkovic agreed to join Tottenham. He will officially join the team when he turns 18 in 2025. After arriving at Tottenham this summer, he was temporarily not in the plans of new coach Thomas Frank, so the team loaned him out to Hamburg for training, where he performed quite well.

Talking about joining Tottenham at the age of 16, Vushkovic said: "It felt really great, I was ecstatic. At that time, my father called me and said that Tottenham were waiting for my signature and they wanted me very much. They showed me the project and I really like my plan and I didn’t hesitate too much."

Talking about his rejection of Manchester City to choose Tottenham, Vushkovic said: "I think Tottenham is the perfect choice because they have shown a lot of great projects. There are many, many young players and I don’t want to be just another number. "

"At Tottenham, they treated me as one of the top projects, which really meant a lot to me at the time. Arguably, that was the deciding factor. "

When asked what choice he would make if Manchester City pursues him again, Vushkovic said: "Honestly, I don't know. I'm taking it one step at a time and I'm feeling good and making good progress and I hope to keep it up. "
