Tottenham Hotspur wants a striker, and various reports suggest that their top target is ACF Fiorentina’s Dušan Vlahović. However, it seems as though manager Antonio Conte and Managing Director of Football Fabio Paratici don’t want to put all their eggs in that basket.
Spurs want to have a Plan B, and it appears they have found their backup plan if their pursuit of Vlahović fails. According to Eurosport, Tottenham is one of the clubs interested in Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak.
The 22-year-old caught the eye of many after a quality UEFA Euro 2020 tournament. This season, Isak has carried that success from the summer over to his club team, scoring six goals and registering two assists in 17 matches.
Overall, the forward has made 109 appearances for Real Sociedad, scoring 39 goals since joining the club in 2019.
Isak is under contract with the Spanish side until 2026, so Real Sociedad has all the leverage in any discussions involving the Sweden international. When it comes to a possible fee that Tottenham might have to pay, Transfermarkt places his value at £36-million.
