Tottenham made ten new signings under Roberto De Zerbi during the summer transfer window.
The Italian seemingly overhauled his squad after they narrowly avoided relegation last season, as a handful of important players left to make room for new signings.
Luka Vuskovic was one of their biggest sales as he sealed a surprise £52m move to Brighton.
And now, the Croatian claims he has no hard feelings toward Tottenham, although he admits he wasn’t quite sure why he was offloaded.
Luka Vuskovic opens up on Tottenham departure
“I wouldn’t look at it like that. Tottenham really helped me when I was a teenager,” said the Croatian via The Argus when asked if he has a point to prove to his former club.
“For two years I’ve been with them and they helped me a lot. I’m really grateful to them. I’m in Brighton now and I feel great. It’s an unbelievable club who believe in me.
“In the end, I don’t know why Tottenham didn’t want me. But Brighton believed in me.
“Also, a few years back I knew they wanted to sign me. I’m really happy with my choice. It’s really an amazing club with young talent.”
Classy comments from such a young player and it’s not hard to see where he is coming from.
A large section of the Tottenham faithful were also baffled when he was sold, as he made quite the impression at Hamburg last season.
It’s all in the past now, but this certainly looks like a move the Lilywhites will grow to regret in the coming years.
