brighton deal close
Reports have linked the Croatian centre-back with a move this summer after an impressive loan deal at HSV Hamburg last season.
He was one of the Bundesliga's breakout stars, establishing himself in HSV's squad despite being just 19 years old. The German team was keen to retain him, but it soon became clear that this would not be the case.
The original assumption was that he would return to Tottenham, who were keen to assess him and whether he could become part of Roberto De Zerbi's squad going forward.
But now this has changed with the arrival of Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi. Vuckovic looks unlikely to feature this season due to his arrival as well as the continued presence of QT Romero and Mickey Van de Veen.

Brighton appear to have taken advantage of this. they have I have been looking for a deal for this young player for several weeks. The first offer came as part of negotiations for Van Hecke.
Now Longari reports that a deal is close to being concluded. According to his information, a £55m deal between Tottenham and Brighton is now close to completion.
In fact, a deal is progressing so well that the Croatian defender will have to undergo medical in the United States. He is currently in the World Cup with Croatia.
The question is whether the deal is worth £55million or whether it includes bonuses. It would also be surprising if Tottenham are no longer a future option for the youngster. He is highly rated after his time in Germany, with big European sides also keen. For now, they seem happy to let him go anyway.
