The Croatian\u2019s management will talk with the club about a new contract. He made a big, big step in his playing career with this loan spell at Hamburg. Many top clubs now have him firmly on their radar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Want more CaughtOffside coverage?

interesting to see if Tottenham reward the centre-back with a contract that reflects his development, or (if the offer isn\u2019t good enough and there aren\u2019t enough minutes on the table) if he\u2019s forced to go search for another club.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Should Luka Vuskovic leave Tottenham for Liverpool or Chelsea?<\/h2>\n<p>This saga certainly seems like one to follow in the weeks and months ahead, with Tottenham enduring an awful season in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>It may even be that THFC still end up getting relegated, though they\u2019re the slight favourites over West Ham at the moment to scrape survival.<\/p>\n<p>Still, that\u2019s not necessarily the kind of situation Vuskovic will be keen to go back to, so the 19-year-old might do well to consider somewhere like Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds need a long-term replacement for the ageing Virgil van Dijk, while Ibrahima Konate is nearing the end of his contract, so there would surely be an immediate starting role for him at Anfield.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-stories std-mgn-b\">&#13;<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<header class=\"col-s-12 std-mgn-t\">More Stories \/ <span class=\"topic\">Latest
