Tottenham Hotspur reportedly eye Real Sociedad midfielder Luca Sucic to enhance their squad depth, but face competition from a three-time European champion.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> are reportedly keen on adding a La Liga-based midfielder to their squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Premier League side are said to be aiming to add young European talent to their squad as they look to add a different dimension to Thomas Frank<\/a>‘s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spurs’ midfield options currently include Rodrigo Bentancur<\/a>, Pape Sarr, Lucas Bergvall<\/a>, Yves Bissouma<\/a>, and Joao Palhinha<\/a>, the latter joining on loan from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

While James Maddison<\/a>, Dejan Kulusevski<\/a> and Xavi Simons<\/a> play further forward in advanced midfield roles, Spurs’ reported transfer target operates in central midfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Luka<\/p>\n

According to Fichajes<\/a>, the North London club are interested in the services of Real Sociedad’s Luka Sucic<\/a>, who joined the Spanish side in summer 2024 after four seasons with Red Bull Salzburg.<\/p>\n

Sucic, 23, has since made 43 appearances for La Real in all competitions, scoring one goal in La Liga and three across all competitions.<\/p>\n

A Croatia international, Sucic, who is reportedly available for \u20ac25m (\u00a321.7m), has played 18 times for his national team after making his debut four years ago in a World Cup qualifier against Slovakia in October 2021.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Sucic recently scored his first goal for the 2018 World Cup runners-up, netting in a qualifying match on October 12 against Gibraltar for next year’s tournament, as Vatreni secured a 3-0 victory.<\/p>\n

Inter Milan<\/a> emerge as Spurs’ potential rival for Sucic<\/p>\n

\"Luka<\/p>\n

The report reveals that Inter Milan could challenge the London club for Sucic if the 2025 Europa League winners do not act swiftly.<\/p>\n

Both clubs’ rumoured interest in the 23-year-old may stem from his exceptional dribbling and ball-carrying skills.<\/p>\n

According to Fbref<\/a>, Sucic is ranked in the 96th percentile for attempted take-ons and the 98th percentile for successful dribble attempts.<\/p>\n

The Real Sociedad man also tends to shoot at goal following his dribble efforts, as shown by his placement in the 93rd percentile for shots after successful take-ons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
