Luka Vuskovic Brighton Premier League form, Digi Mart USA News: Luka Vuskovic (19) is second in the Premier League with Brighton and stands among the top eight in the Conference League. The former HSV professional has played a major role in the club’s rise.
In all ten league matches, Vuskovic has started in the starting lineup, winning seven of them. He has also scored once and won the penalty before the second goal in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Brentford.
The Guardian described him as a “withdrawn playmaker” over the weekend.
As evidence of his strong performances, Vuskovic was one of eight nominees for the Premier League Player of the Month for October until Monday. Brighton kept three clean sheets in October alone under his leadership at the back.
In a surprise 1-0 win over Manchester City, he kept Erling Haaland (26) in check and recorded three interceptions and three clearances. Under former St.
Pauli coach Fabian Hürzeler (33), he is continuing where he left off last season while on loan at HSV.
Statistically, Vuskovic ranks among the top defenders in all teams. His 62 clearances rank tenth in the league, and his 40 won aerial duels rank sixth.
Aerial duel success rate stands at 66.7 percent and overall duel success at 60.7 percent, according to sofascore.com, which is slightly lower than in Germany but still strong for the higher Premier League level.
Croatia national coach Slaven Bilić (58) has also relied on him. Bilić said recently: “You wait until you can spot a mistake, but there isn’t one.
Intelligence, courage, leadership: there are no fluctuations in his game.” Bilić has included him in the squad for matches in England on Thursday and against the Czech Republic on Sunday, meaning he will miss his brother Mario’s HSV comeback.
