Luka Vuskovic set to join Spurs
Primorac, who has previously worked as a first-team coach at Arsenal while Arsene Wenger was in charge was asked about the future of the defender amid the speculation of a transfer to Tottenham.
He said when offering his response to(24Sata) with a smile: “I’m glad that our coaches made a great player. I wish him all the best (if Vuskovic joins Tottenham).
“The most important thing is that he plays. He is training with us, which is important for both Hajduk and Croatian football. I don’t know what is happening with the transfer.
“(But) it’s nice that Croatian players reach big clubs, like (Josko) Gvardiol and (Luka) Modric.”

Vuskovic is a top talent and it makes sense for him to remain at his current club to continue to evolve rather than uproot him at a young age and throw him into the academy set up at Tottenham.
