Brighton & Hove Albion have submitted a second, improved bid worth £45 million to Tottenham Hotspur for centre-back Luka Vuskovic, according to Sky Sports Football.

The move signals Brighton's intent to strengthen their defensive options, with the club pushing hard to secure Vuskovic's signature despite Tottenham's resistance to their opening offer.

Tottenham have yet to signal whether the revised proposal meets their valuation for the defender, leaving the transfer in the balance as both clubs continue negotiations.
