Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler says the Seagulls have followed Luka Vuskovic's "fantastic start to his career" and are looking forward to helping him break into the Premier League now that his transfer is complete.
Vuskovic, who has signed from Tottenham on a five-year-deal, spent last season on loan at Hamburg and was named in the Bundesliga team of the year.
The 19-year-old has six senior caps for Croatia and started against England in the opening group match of the World Cup.
"Luka has enjoyed a fantastic start to his career - it's one we've followed closely," said Hurzeler. "Last season, he demonstrated he can play at a very high level and we want to help him build on that within our environment.
"There's been a lot of external noise about Luka joining us, but he is still a young guy who will need time to adjust to the demands of playing for Brighton and the Premier League.
"We are confident that he will take this in his stride, though."

We asked for your views on which players you're most excited to see in action during pre-season.
Here are some of your comments:
Warren: I want to see more of Nehemiah Oriola in the first-team squad - this could be the season he graduates from the under-23s. Hoping that Luka Vuskovic joins the remodelled defence as reported, and that Stef Tzimas is fit enough to pick up where he left off last season - just beginning to show his attacking potential.
Jack: I'm excited to see Pascal Struijk in action. Hopefully he can play well and score a debut goal.
Hugh: I'll be pleased to see many of the existing squad, hopefully including Kaoru Mitoma - if he's fit! Also excited to see Yankuba Minteh - he looks so electric on TV and I'm hoping he's still our player. Honestly, I hope they play a different team in each half so I get to see as many players as I can!
Jack: I'm really excited to see the young signing from Stockholm and Struijk. We can get our revenge on Roma for the Europa League meeting.
Gruda, who is a Germany Under-21 international, has featured 45 times in Fabian Hurzeler's first team.
Brighton's sporting director Mike Cave said: "Brajan had a good second half of the season with Leipzig and he was keen to explore the opportunity of remaining there for the coming year.
"This is a move that allows Brajan to continue to secure regular playing time at a good level, in an environment he knows well."
