Tottenham is considering an unconventional decision for an outstanding prospect.
Britain's Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 10th (Korea time) 'Bushkovic could return to Tottenham early in January'
Tottenham Hotspur News reported 'Tottenham made several decisions related to prospects in the summer. Mikey Moore left on loan to Rangers, and Will Rank also headed to Oxford. Among them, Buschkovic moved to Hamburg in the Bundesliga on loan. Buschkovic has the potential to shorten his lease. He has also been outstanding recently against Dortmund. If his performance continues, Tottenham could bring him back this season, he said.

Tottenham's new manager Thomas Frank took over this summer, and there have been considerable changes in the squad. Lease of young players was also made. Vushkovic was one of them. Born in 2007, defender Buschkovic made his Croatian first division debut in February 2023 at the age of 16. At that time, he broke the record of being the youngest to play in Croatia's first division. He started his career with Heiduk Split and grew up on loan with Radomieak Radom and Vesterlo. Buschkovic, who had already signed a contract with Tottenham in 2023, spent the pre-season wearing a Tottenham uniform for the first time this summer.
Tottenham, where Christian Romero and Mickey Panderpen can play as the main players and Kevin Danso, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davis and Archie Gray can play as center backs, judged it difficult to give Buschkovic a lot of time to play and decided to rent. Buschkovic transferred on loan to Hamburg, a German Bundesliga promotion team, rather than the English Championship (second division) headed by many promising players.

It may be a bit difficult for promising players, but Buschkovic is immediately adapting to Hamburg and performing well. Playing in eight games, he played full time in each game and was very active. He mesmerized fans by showing a solid defense with his competitive ability and strong physicality using his 195cm tall height. He was also named the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month in September, one of the achievements that even Son Heung-min, who experienced the Bundesliga, did not achieve when he was a prospect.
Buschkovic surprised everyone with his thorough defense in the previous game against Dortmund. He showed tremendous performance with a 96% pass success rate, four long pass successes, 10 clearings, three interceptions, two shot blocks, and 100% air ball competition.

For Tottenham, concerns are growing. There are key players such as Christian Romero, Mickey Panderpen and Kevin Danso, but coach Frank still wants to reinforce center backs. Considering Buschkovic's talent, we cannot rule out the possibility that it would be more beneficial to continue his performance by adapting to the English Premier League (EPL) in Tottenham than in the Bundesliga.
Excessive performance is raising Tottenham's concerns. Attention is also focusing on whether Buschkovic will prove his skills in Europe's top five leagues and be the main character of an unconventional decision to return to Tottenham after a half-season.
