Tottenham Hotspur wants to improve its striker position as the January window opens in less than two weeks. Over the summer, Spurs had been linked to strikers as a possible replacement for Harry Kane or one that can play with him.
However, with the 28-year-old struggling to produce goals, the north London club might want to bring in a player who can help the department. The main target for Tottenham appears to be ACF Fiorentina’s Dušan Vlahović. Nonetheless, they aren’t putting all their eggs into that basket.
According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, U.S. Sassuolo Calcio are open to selling Tottenham target striker Gianluca Scamacca. A few days ago, a story came out in Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness) that Tottenham is in on the forward.
The 22-year-old has made 17 appearances for the Serie A side, scoring five goals. Last season, the striker was on loan with Genoa, where he made 30 appearances, scoring 12 goals.
Both club chief Fabio Paratici and manager Antonio Conte saw the Italy international up close, and it seems that his performance is enough to convince them to pursue. They aren’t alone, though, as Juventus also has eyes on the player.
When it comes to a potential cost, Transfermarkt puts his value at £13.5-million. Nevertheless, Sassuolo wants more than that as they initially wanted around £20million, but that price has only gone up.
The report also states that Sassuolo chairman Giovanni Carnevali is open to letting him leave this January.
