Two Tottenham rising stars could be about to follow Luka Vuskovic in landing big-money moves

Tottenham Hotspur have finally struck an agreement with Brighton for the transfer of talented defender Luka Vuskovic.

The Seagulls have splashed £46million on the 19-year-old, with the potential for a further £4m on add-ons, despite never featuring for Spurs.

Tottenham signed him for Vuskovic for just £9.5m last summer, and after just 12 months on loan at Hamburg, the club have made a sizeable profit.

With Roberto De Zerbi already splashing a lot of money on Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke, the incoming fee will be a relief.

But Vuskovic's move to Brighton has triggered some debate around the Lilywhites' transfer business, especially over the last decade.

Despite having some huge players in that time, only two players from the last 10 years have fetched bigger fees - Harry Kane and Kyle Walker.

Luka Vuskovic in Tottenham's top five most expensive departures

Of course, Gareth Bale tops the list after his £85m move to Real Madrid in 2013, but that is now 13 years in the past, with all focus now on the future.

For a club of Spurs' size, and given some of the names that have featured in North London, this presents quite a big problem for the owners.

To put it into context, in the last six years, Manchester City have sold six players for more than £40m, while Liverpool have six since 2015.

Those two clubs have had plenty of financial windfalls from success on the pitch, though, via Premier League and Champions League titles.

Spurs have rarely come close to that kind of success, and so, many would expect a few more eye-watering deals to come out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

New transfer tactic is evident under the Lewis family

Daniel Levy was often criticised for his lack of investment on the pitch, and it is clear that the entire transfer tactic under his leadership wasn't the smartest.

Of course, there was the odd diamond in the rough, but that rarely lent itself to making huge profit on players, rather using stars until they were worth much less.

That could be all about to change under the Lewis family, maybe even this summer, with sources saying there is potential for both Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall to be sold for big money.

Despite struggling for minutes in North London, both of them appearing near the top of Spurs' all-time record departures this summer would be a little embarrassing.
