Tottenham Hotspur wants to bring in a forward to play alongside Harry Kane and eventually be the long-term replacement for the 28-year-old. Over the summer, Spurs were linked to various strikers, but no move would occur.
However, now with Antonio Conte in charge, it seems Tottenham is ready to add a young striker, which is why Gazzetta Dello Sport (via Sport Witness) reports that Tottenham remains one of the two frontrunners in the race for ACF Fiorentina’s Dušan Vlahović.
Spurs being the frontrunners for the Serbia international is good news ahead of the January transfer window. However, the other team leading the charge for Vlahović is Manchester City.
Last week, a report from Italy suggested that manager Pep Guardiola is enamored by the 21-year-old and wants to bring him aboard. As a result, Tottenham will have their work cut out if they hope to convince Vlahović to turn down Manchester City for north London.
Vlahović has appeared in 18 matches this season for Fiorentina, scoring 17 goals and registering three assists.
