Now, Caught Offside‘s Mark Brus has said: “I can confirm that the Reds’ interest in the Brighton centre-back is really strong. […] “I’m reliably told by sources in the industry that senior Anfield figures were “surprised” when Tottenham decided to sell Vuskovic to Brighton. Liverpool view him as elite, and perfect to slot in to Andoni Iraola’s system.” Luke Vuskovic could be outstanding for Liverpool Vuskovic is such an exciting young defender, proving to be one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League so far this season, shining in his all-round game for an in-form Brighton side.

The Croatian still has plenty of learning to do, but he is way ahead of many players his age, and Seagulls defensive partner Lewis Dunk has hailed him, saying: “He’s settling in really well. He’s obviously come in and hit the ground running.

He’s played in Germany and I don’t know how many international games [for Croatia], so he’s played at a high level already.” Granted, as much as £90m may be needed for Liverpool to sign Vuskovic, but if he continues on his current trajectory, he could become one of Europe’s best defenders for many years.
