Luka Vuskovic has made it clear he will not answer questions on his future between now and the end of the campaign.

The Tottenham defender has lit up the Bundesliga while on loan at Hamburger SV and European heavyweights Barcelona are now believed to be eyeing a summer transfer deal.

But the 19-year-old is not prepared to clarify his future just yet and told German outfit BILD when asked whether he'd be willing to stay put at Spurs if they are relegated to the Championship: “I can’t and won’t say anything about that or about the future in general. I’m their player and have a contract until 2030.”

While Vuskovic is still yet to make a professional appearance for Spurs, the club remain in constant contact with their player.

It's a step that's helped the centre-back keep both feet firmly on the ground.

He said when pushed on how he remains humble: “I try not to think about it too much and don’t read much on social media. I also have a psychologist assigned to me by Tottenham. She helps me a lot. It used to be in person, of course, but now it’s by phone. She gives me good advice on how to deal with certain things. For example, how to react to unexpected events."

Vuskovic is now up to five Bundesliga goals this season and last weekend, he scored a penalty for HSV in their 2-1 victory at Wolfsburg.

It seems difficult to envisage one of the world's most-exciting young defenders being willing to play in the Championship on the back of such a promising campaign in one of Europe's top-five domestic leagues.

However, Spurs hold all the cards as HSV were not able to include a buy-option within the initial loan agreement so whatever happens, Vuskovic will definitely return to Tottenham in the summer.

He's also set to feature for Croatia at the World Cup and could well start for his country if he continues to impress between now and the tournament.

Vuksovic was briefly involved for Tottenham during pre-season last year and he registered a goal and assist in Thomas Frank's first friendly at the helm, a 2-0 victory over League One outfit Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have also been earmarked as potential suitors for the teen, who has a growing list of admirers.
