Brighton have signed Croatia defender Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham for a club-record £46m on a five-year contract with an option for a further year. The 20-year-old will replace Netherlands centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke, who has moved in the opposite direction to Spurs on a long-term deal for £52m.

Born in Split, Vuskovic came through the academy at local club Hajduk, becoming the youngest player to feature in Croatia's top flight at just 16 and going on to become his club's youngest goalscorer. He was named Rookie of the Season for his impressive campaign in the Bundesliga last season and claimed a spot in the league's Team of the Year.

Vuskovic has six senior caps and one goal for Croatia and made his World Cup debut against England in the group stages last month. Brighton start the new Premier League season against Aston Villa at home on Sunday, 23 August at 14:00 BST.
