Tottenham won their first game of the Premier League season and climbed above the relegation line with 1 point. – On Saturday, it’s time for the London derby at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, who are one of the suitors for the player Tottenham have just sold.
There’s a lot to repair, but some can’t be fixed!
Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are all interested in securing an upcoming superstar that Tottenham may already be starting to regret selling.

Luka Vušković continues to attract the attention of Europe’s leading clubs – despite only becoming a Brighton & Hove Albion player just a few months ago.
The 19-year-old Croatian centre-back arrived on the south coast in a club-record deal worth up to £50 million from Tottenham Hotspur, after an outstanding loan spell at Hamburger SV.
Since then, he has established himself as a regular starter in the Premier League, where his strength in the air, composure with the ball and physical presence have underlined his status as one of football’s most exciting young defenders.

Bayern Munich are among the clubs that follow his development most closely.
The German big club followed the defender while he was in Germany, and were interested in him before his transfer to Brighton.
Vušković will be open to a future move to the Allianz Arena, and there is a history of contact between the parties. However, Bayern are not in a position to go for him immediately. Their centre-back options currently include Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Ito.
Just a sale of one or more of these players (most likely Kim or Ito) will create both the place in the squad and the funds required for a serious push.
Chelsea and Barcelona also want Luka Vušković
Chelsea and Barcelona are also keeping a close eye on the situation, according to sources.
Both clubs have been mentioned as overseers of the Croatian international, with interest linked to a potential transfer next summer. Wider speculation has occasionally linked Real Madrid and Liverpool to him, but these seem less consistent and have not been confirmed by sources.
No club has yet made a formal offer, and any transfer will trigger competition from several elite clubs.
Brighton are under no pressure to sell. Vušković is under contract until 2031 and has already become an important part of Fabian Hürzeler’s team. The club’s history of developing and eventually selling talent means they will be well prepared if serious interest turns into bids – but they see the defender as a long-term value rather than a short-term profit opportunity.
For now, Vušković is focused on his performances at the Amex Stadium, while Europe’s biggest clubs continue to follow his development with interest in a summer transfer.
