"Yes, they offered me an option to stay, to play in case of injury or cup matches, but I wanted continuous minutes," the defender said in an interview with Germanijak. "They have Romero and Van de Ven playing there, two of the best centre-backs in the world at the moment.
"I believe in myself, but it's really difficult to play next to them. I've faced them and I realised that I still have to work harder. A lot of work and a little luck, so I'll be back."
He explained why he made the move to Tottenham this summer, after agreeing the transfer two years ago despite competition for his signature from Manchester City.
"I didn't want to be just a number. At Tottenham, you told me what they expected and offered in terms of sport and that prevailed, the plan they put before me," said the centre-back.
On his move to Hamburg, Vuskovic is looking forward to his third loan in as many years after spells at Radomiak in Poland and Westerlo in Belgium.
"I was hoping for such an outcome. I really wanted HSV. A big club, a beautiful city with an army of fans," he said. "My brother was there and that's why it was even more important to me. I was at the qualifiers with Ulm, I felt the atmosphere, and especially when they chanted for my brother - they bought me here for life.
"Nothing is guaranteed, I don't have a guaranteed spot. I'll play if I'm good in training, if the coach thinks I am. If I'm not, I won't play."

The young Tottenham defender has explained why he made the loan move to Hamburg despite the option to remain in north London
refreshing honesty from the player.
Well done to the club in enabling him to get a high quality loan in Bundesliga to develop further.

Fair play
Martin Jol on Vuskovic - Jol brought through Lennon at Spurs, gave Bale his first starts at Spurs , Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Eriksen all came though under Jol at Ajax ........ so knows something about young players
"[Cristian] Romero could go anywhere but you feel like if he plays for a while at his top level, he will get injured. Romero is a good, decent defender, but I will tell you one thing, the guy they sent to Hamburg now - Luka Vuskovic - will be better."
