According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea is interested in Tottenham wonderkid Luka Vuskovic, a central defender, before the summer transfer market opens. The gifted 19-year-old has been connected to several elite teams, including Chelsea, according to German media, and our sources have verified that these rumors are true.
Vuskovic appears to be making a name for himself in that area. The Blues are renowned for searching the market for the top young players in international football. Although the Croatian international has not yet played a minute for Spurs, his defensive performances for Hamburg on his Bundesliga loan this season have been incredibly outstanding.
“Chelsea is indeed interested,” a reliable source informed us. “He is at the top of their list as they search for a new center back because they have done their homework on him.” Although it’s unclear if a defender is a top priority for Bayern Munich at this point, additional sources verified Chelsea’s interest in the teenager.

Levi Colwill sustained an ACL injury before to the start of the season, and the Blues have paid the price for not replacing him. Due to several defensive problems, Chelsea was unable to get Jeremy Jacquet in January; instead, the Frenchman chose to sign with Liverpool.
But a center defender is probably going to be recruited this summer, and Chelsea has been connected to Strahinja Pavlovic of AC Milan. Murillo of Nottingham Forest has also been linked to the Blues, and according to BILD, Chelsea is among the teams interested in Vuksovic, who has performed well at Hamburg this season.
According to the report, Liverpool is also interested, but Tottenham, his parent club, will have to decide whether to give him a chance in the starting lineup for the upcoming campaign. His market value is reportedly €60 million.
