The 19-year-old centre-back, on loan at Hamburg from Spurs, has now matched the four awards claimed by Victor Boniface during Bayer Leverkusen's historic title-winning campaign of 2023-24.
Boniface scored 21 goals that season as Leverkusen ended Bayern Munich's decade of dominance. Vušković's contribution has been of a different kind — defensive, dominant, and equally historic.
In March, the Croatian won 83 percent of his duels across three matchdays. That was the best figure in the entire Bundesliga over that period. He didn't commit a single foul.
Hamburg's director of professional football Claus Costa was effusive. "Luka is playing at a very, very high level — week after week," he said.
The season has been one landmark after another. Vušković won Rookie of the Month in September and October, then again in January and March. He won the Bundesliga Goal of the Year award for a scorpion kick against city rivals Werder Bremen. He headed Hamburg level in a 2-2 draw against Bayern. Fans voted him Player of the Season at the halfway stage — beating Harry Kane in the final round.
He has scored five Bundesliga goals in 27 appearances and won the aerial battle against every centre-forward he has faced.
Born in Split on 24 February 2007, Vušković only turned 19 in February. He has never played a competitive minute for Tottenham, having spent last season on loan at Belgian side Westerloo, where he scored seven goals, before Hamburg moved for him last summer.
The broader picture is harder to ignore. Bayern Munich and Barcelona are among the clubs monitoring his situation, and Sky Sports report Tottenham are bracing for serious interest this summer.
With April and May still to come, the record could yet be his alone.
