The new Son: Spurs have a young “superstar” who’s up there with Vuskovic

Ex-Tottenham Hotspur chief Daniel Levy said after collecting his CBE (for services to charity and the community) that he never would have imagined the club sinking into a Premier League relegation dogfight.

And the rest of us, Dan. Supporters have watched in horror and disbelief as last season’s fragilities, covered by that winning run to Bilbao in the Europa League, have devolved into something far more concerning this year, a genuine relegation battle seeing Thomas Frank and then Igor Tudor dismissed.

Four games unbeaten, Roberto De Zerbi is doing a job, having replaced Tudor during the March international break. Whether it is too little too late remains to be seen, though.

Tottenham need to stay up. Aside from the obvious reasons, falling into the Championship would be detrimental, as it would see the Londoners lose top talents such as Luka Vuskovic.

Why Vuskovic could be Spurs’ saviour

If Tottenham fight away the clamping jaw of relegation, they will still have plenty of work to do to ensure this terrible situation is not repeated.

Cristian Romero is set to be sold this summer, but with Vuskovic landing in London after the World Cup in North America, Spurs have the potential to welcome a possbily generational talent to their squad.

They mustn’t blow it. Vuskovic, hailed by content creator Fiago as “the best 18-year-old center back I’ve ever seen in my life“, has the potential to shine brighter than even Romero and Micky van de Ven in Tottenham’s backline, developing into a superstar.

It goes without saying that the 19-year-old, thriving on loan with Hamburg in Germany, will not fancy a step down into the Championship, so impressive over the past couple of years.

His technicality and freak athleticism mark him down as a world-class prospect, though the fact that he would slot right into the Lilywhites’ starting line-up scraps the notion that he is an up-and-comer.

And he’s not the only one. Tottenham have another interesting talent out on loan who could play a big role next season. Whether the new Heung-min Son would want to play in the second tier is another question, though.

Spurs’ new Son is up there with Vuskovic

Tottenham’s frontliners have flattered to deceive this season. The injuries haven’t helped, but the fact remains that Spurs haven’t been sharp enough, quick enough or imposing enough in attacking battles.

They miss Son, but next season, De Zerbi could replace the South Korean legend through Mikey Moore, who is making progress out on loan in Scotland with Rangers.

Moore, 18, came into his own under Ange Postecoglou’s management last season, scoring his first senior goal against Elfsborg in the Europa League. His development was best served in a role with Rangers for the current campaign, though, where he has started to play with consistency.

Fleet-footed and direct, former Spurs star Gary Mabbutt has predicted that the dynamic winger will become a “superstar in the future“, scoring seven goals and creating seven big chances in the Scottish Premiership this season.

With an innate goalscoring ability and a dazzling style on the ball, could we be looking at the new Son? Obviously, Moore has a long way to go before he can be considered anywhere near the level that Son reached after so many tireless years of service down N17, but if anyone has the skillset to achieve that feat, it is this youngster.

Though reports over the past few months have suggested that Moore could leave Tottenham and make his visit to Glasgow a permanent trip, there’s no question that he would be tempted to forge his way in the Premier League, should Spurs stay up.

The same can be said for Vuskovic, with both elite talents gunning for the top. Tottenham cannot let them slip away.

Moore has grown into an increasingly effective winger at Rangers, and now he has the chance to reemerge in north London and establish himself as one of the new superstars at the club.

Someone in the same vein as a young Son, after the Asian sensation joined from Bayer Leverkusen way back when, perhaps?
