Hamburg coach Merlin Polzin hopes they can keep hold of Luka Vuskovic next season.

The Croatia defender, 18, is on a season-long loan at HSV from Tottenham.

"I'm a man of conviction," said Polzin, when asked about extending Vuskovic's stay. "Of course, I also believe in things that are hard to imagine, even if they're a bit romantic about football."

However, the coach also added a caveat: "Nevertheless, there is a clear contractual agreement between the clubs."

The big factor in HSV's favour is Vuskovic wishing to play alongside his brother,  Mario Vuskovic, who is serving a doping ban. Mario will be available for HSV from November next season.
