Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a significant boost in their efforts to land one Serie A centre-forward, with the Lilywhites moving to the front of the queue in the transfer race ahead of the summer transfer window.
Tottenham remain keen on Serie A marksman
Tottenham added more firepower to their frontline with the acquisition of Mathys Tel in January, but Ange Postecoglou‘s men may need further reinforcements to their attack in the summer.
This is because Richarlison‘s future at Spurs remains shrouded in doubt as the Brazilian continues to struggle to stay fit for sustained periods.
It has now been suggested that Spurs may turn to one Serie A centre-forward to solve their issues up front, and their efforts to sign the player have just been boosted.
Tottenham move into pole position to land Dusan Vlahovic
This report comes from GiveMeSport, who claim that Tottenham remain keen on Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic and have now been handed a ‘significant boost’ in their attempts to secure the Serbian’s services.
This is because some of Spurs‘ Premier League rivals, including Arenal and Chelsea, have now cooled their interest in the former Fiorentina man.
This means that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has emerged as Vlahovic‘s ‘most likely destination’ ahead of the summer transfer window.
The outlet asserts that Juventus are increasingly open to sanctioning the 25-year-old’s departure and are expected to demand £50m for his services.
What are Vlahovic’s plans for the summer?
GiveMeSport go on to explain that Vlahovic himself is now keen on seeking a fresh challenge in the summer, having fallen behind Randal Kolo Muani in the pecking order since the Frenchman’s arrival from Paris Saint-Germain in January.
Interestingly, the publication reveals that the striker’s preferred destination is the Premier League, thus leaving Tottenham well-placed in the race for his signature.
It is asserted that Spurs’ main competition for Vlahovic might come from Newcastle, with the Magpies expected to make a move for the Juve man if Alexander Isak departs the club in the summer.
