Spurs in pole position to make a statement of intent with first Conte signing

Tottenham are reportedly ahead of Juventus in the transfer race for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.

The Serbia international has been on fire in Serie A in recent times, scoring 31 goals in his last 53 games in all competitions for his club, showing that he could be a valuable asset for many top clubs around Europe.

According to Sport Mediaset, Antonio Conte is eager to land him as one of his first signings as Spurs manager, and it seems Tottenham are ahead of Juventus in the running for the time being.

If Spurs pull this off, it would be some statement, with Vlahovic looking ideal for the kind of football Conte is going to be playing. And we know from past experience what Conte is capable of if he’s given the right tools to work with.

Harry Kane’s dip in form also surely means that another top signing up front is essential, while Sport Mediaset also note that the England international’s future could be in doubt again once the transfer window re-opens in January.
