Barcelona are in talks for Tottenham Hotspur target Dusan Vlahovic
Thanks to Thomas Frank, Tottenham Hotspur are mounting a strong challenge on all four fronts this season. The Lilywhites currently sit third in the Premier League, just two points behind leaders Arsenal, and are well on course to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League after collecting four points from their opening two group-stage fixtures.
However, despite their encouraging start, there remain a few issues that need addressing if Spurs are to bridge the gap with their rivals. Chief among them is the lack of goals — a lingering concern for Thomas Frank’s men as they look to build on last season’s Europa League triumph. The situation has been further complicated by an early-season injury crisis in attack.
Barcelona are in talks for Tottenham Hotspur target Dusan Vlahovic.
Tottenham are keen to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer in the coming months.
Both Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani are yet to feature this season as they continue their recoveries from injury, while Richarlison’s form has dipped following his impressive start to the campaign. Naturally, this has led to growing calls for Tottenham to reinforce their striking options sooner rather than later.
Tottenham eyeing a possible deal for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic
Recent reports suggest that the club have identified Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as their primary target to fill the No. 9 role at N17. The Serbian international is believed to be open to a move away from Turin after slipping down the pecking order at the Allianz Stadium. However, any potential deal could hinge on his wage demands and whether he would be willing to take a pay cut to secure a transfer.
The arrival of Jonathan David at Juventus has only compounded Vlahovic’s struggles for regular minutes under Igor Tudor. Yet, despite starting just two matches across all competitions this season, the 25-year-old has already netted four goals, making him the club’s top scorer. Those numbers underline his quality and natural goalscoring instinct, even in limited playing time.
Securing Vlahovic’s signature, however, will be no straightforward task for Tottenham. According to Tuttosport, Barcelona have reignited their interest in the Serbian striker as they begin their search for a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski. Reports claim that Sporting Director Deco has already made contact with Vlahovic’s representatives to discuss a potential move to Camp Nou next summer.
That development could complicate matters for Spurs as they continue their pursuit of a reliable centre-forward. Nonetheless, signing a player of Vlahovic’s calibre would represent a major coup for the North London club. With his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, the prolific forward could be available on a free transfer, making it an opportunity the Lilywhites may find too good to pass up.
At just 25, Vlahovic still has his best years ahead of him and possesses all the tools to establish himself among Europe’s elite striker. Bringing him to N17 could finally solve Tottenham’s long-standing search for a world-class #9 and help Thomas Frank’s side take the next step in their pursuit of silverware.
