Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham told they've signed the next Josko Gvardiol after wonderkid swoop

Tottenham's swoop for Croatian wonderkid Luka Vušković over the weekend has been met with widespread praise, with Ange Postecoglou and company being told they've secured themselves 'the next Josko Gvardiol'. The 16-year-old, who arrives from Hajduk Split for a fee of £12 million, was a subject of interest to many top European teams but Spurs seem to have snatched him up first.
