Luka Vuskovic is quickly settling into life in the Bundesliga and has just produced another impressive display for Hamburger SV.

HSV produced an impressive performance to win 4-0 at home against Mainz, and the Tottenham Hotspur loanee played a key role in helping to keep a clean sheet.

The defender has been so good that the German media have nicknamed him ‘Air Vuskovic’, due to his insane aerial ability.

The North London club will be delighted with the defender’s progress so far and will be even more pleased with the ‘insane’ reviews from the supporters.

HSV fans hail Luka Vuskovic’s performance vs Mainz

Hamburger SV fans are calling Luka Vuskovic’s performance against Mainz ‘insane’ as the defender once again stepped up for the German club.

Following a dismal start to the season, HSV are starting to turn their fortunes around, and that has coincided with Vuskovic coming into the team.

The Bundesliga’s newly promoted side are now three games unbeaten and have moved up into ninth place in the table.

Vuskovic has already scored his first Bundesliga goal and continues to prove his incredible abilities as a defender.

After the game, HSV fans have taken to social media to hail the 18-year-old and are amazed by his performance this season.

One fan said: “I knew Vuskovic was good, but what he’s been doing in the Bundesliga so far is something no one who turned 18 this year could ever do. I don’t know when I last saw a similarly far-sighted, modern centre-back at that age. Huijsen is okay, but that’s about it.”

“Luka Vuskovic must have the most intense header duel rate of all time. It feels like he’s three meters tall,” another fan added.

There was further praise for the teenager: “If Vuskovic stays fit, we really have a chance at staying in the league. Unbelievable how much calm/confidence he brings and how he’s elevated our game against the ball to another level. Everyone has more self-confidence. Insane guy.

Finally, one fan claimed: “It was already great, how everyone busted their asses and fought for each other. Whenever something got through, Vuskovic was there. I really wouldn’t have expected that after the first games.”

German media also impressed by Luka Vuskovic

Once again, the defender’s performance also earned an impressive review from the media, who hailed his defensive attributes.

The defender was spotted on several occasions celebrating every time he won a tackle, and against Mainz, he managed a remarkable 17 clearances.

After the game, Hamburger Abendblatt wrote: “No one celebrates winning a tackle on the touchline as much as the 18-year-old. He defended everything, and he can kick, too.”

The North London club will be so pleased to see the Croatian defender succeeding in the German top flight, especially given that Tottenham rate Vuskovic so highly.
