Tottenham Hotspur player hailed a ‘hero’ for life-saving action after ‘super quick-thinking’
Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic was quick to jump into action when a dangerous situation occurred in Hamburg’s clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, and his quick thinking may have saved a player’s life.
Vuskovic has seen his market value double since the start of the season and is now considered the sixth most valuable player in the Tottenham squad.
Such has been his growth over the last few months in the Bundesliga, with the 18-year-old showing maturity beyond his years on the pitch.
The centre-back’s latest actions prove once again that he has an extremely wise head on his young shoulders.
Tottenham youngster Luka Vuskovic stops player from swallowing his tongue
Hamburg played out a 1-1 draw at home against Frankfurt on Saturday, and there was an extremely scary incident during the game.
Former Leeds United player Rasmus Kristensen, who plays for Frankfurt, was left in serious danger after a collision with Hamburg’s Miro Muheim, with the Danish defender knocked out cold.
European football expert Andy Brassell has revealed that Vuskovic was quick on the scene to ensure that Kristensen did not swallow his tongue.
Brassell told talkSPORT‘s Joe Brophy about the on-loan Tottenham Hotspur man: “He was a hero at the weekend when they played Eintracht Frankfurt. Rasmus Kristensen smashed into Muheim, one of Vuskovic’s Hamburg teammates, and they both looked in a pretty bad way.
“Despite only being 18, Vuskovic ran across and made sure Kristensen wasn’t swallowing his tongue. He was super quick-thinking and lauded for that. It’s just in keeping with the way that he’s been, not just really good for a team, their aim really is to avoid relegation.”
Andy Brassell makes confident Spurs prediction for Vuskovic
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have been closely monitoring Vuskovic’s development this season, and they are delighted with the way he has progressed.
Brassell is convinced that the teenager will be a first-team fixture at Spurs next season.
He added about the centre-back: “He’s having a brilliant time in Hamburg, so there’s no reason for him to go anywhere. Even though one of his first games was like a 5-0 thrashing at Bayern, he’s looked super comfortable.
“He’s looked like a leader, which is really interesting for an 18-year-old. They’ll (Hamburg) really miss Vuskovic when he goes, and he will go because he will be a first-team player at Spurs. There’s absolutely no doubt about that. He really looks the part.”
