Tottenham have been linked with a move to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in the upcoming transfer window.

Dr Rajpal Brar, an injury expert, has assessed the fitness of the Serbia international ahead of a potential move.

Spurs are understood to be in the hunt to sign a new striker this summer, despite bringing in Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth for the 2024/25 campaign.

Tottenham may want to take a closer look at the multiple muscle injuries, according to Dr Brar.

Any potential long-term effects of it may be revealed during the medical before the transfer is finalised.

Discussing the state of play with Vlahovic exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.

“Tottenham may take a closer look at the history of muscle injuries and, most recently, how his stress reaction has healed,” he said.

“He has suffered injuries at different stages this season, so that’s a worry.

“*Further examinations during the medical will reveal whether or not it’s a long-term concern.*“

Tottenham should look to sign Vlahovic at £35million

Signing Vlahovic for £35million could be a shrewd move for Tottenham, who are desperate to rebound from their 17th-place finish in 2024/25.

The 25-year-old Juventus striker, with 15 goals and 5 assists in 41 matches this season, offers proven goal-scoring ability at a bargain price for a player of his calibre.

His physicality, aerial dominance and clinical finishing suit the Premier League’s demands, addressing Spurs’ need for a reliable No. 9 post-Harry Kane.

Vlahovic’s experience in Serie A and the Champions League ensures he can handle high-pressure environments, unlike younger, unproven talents.

With Tottenham’s Champions League commitments, his versatility and work rate could galvanise their attack, offering Ange Postecoglou or whoever replaces him a cornerstone to build a competitive squad around.
