Spurs are reportedly showing a strong interest in signing Real Sociedad midfielder Luka Sučić during the January transfer window, as part of manager Thomas Frank’s efforts to bolster the squad amid ongoing midfield challenges.
Does Spurs need Sučić?
It’s difficult not to find fault with our midfield if we are honest with ourselves. Beyond Mohammed Kudus, the big issue is the absence of creativity.
Sučić’s release clause stands at around £22 million (€25 million), which Tottenham could activate to force a deal. The interest stems from Tottenham’s need for midfield depth, with James Maddison dealing with recurring injuries, Yves Bissouma’s contract expiring next summer, and Pape Matar Sarr absent for the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
Manchester United are also monitoring the situation, potentially complicating any pursuit under their latest/new manager, Ruben Amorim.
Has a bid gone in yet?
No official bid or agreement has been announced; however, Fichajes suggests that a summer 2026 move appears more probable than a January one.
Luka is an increasingly elite young footballer. At 23, he’s already a starter in one of Europe’s top leagues, delivering consistent creativity and earning accolades like La Liga’s top goal and club MVP honours in his first full season.
How to describe Sučić’s style?
Scouts and analysts praise his left-footed technique, vision, and ability to unlock defences, with EA FC 26 rating him at 78 overall (strong for his age). He’s not yet a prolific scorer but excels as a playmaker, and his trajectory suggests star potential—think a more attacking Modrić-lite.
Conclusion
This is a player that obviously ticks lots of boxes, and a move to Tottenham may well be what is required to give the lad’s career a welcome boost. At this class of money, Tottenham would probably have trouble saying no.
