Tottenham are hoping to bolster their attack in the summer to prepare for next season.
Tottenham’s Premier League struggles continue to hinder the club’s progress under Thomas Frank. The Lilywhites are finding it difficult to put together positive results, having won just two of their last 14 league matches. There is a growing belief that the Danish tactician has run out of ideas to get the best out of his players, making it hard for the squad to fully buy into his system and tactical approach during matches.
One of the major concerns has been the lack of goals from the centre-forwards. It is fair to say that the attackers have underperformed for the North Londoners this season. Despite spending a fortune on high-profile signings last summer, Spurs lack a clear focal point in attack, with their strikers failing to find the back of the net on a consistent basis.

Randal Kolo Muani has struggled to make an impact since joining on loan from PSG. The Frenchman is yet to open his Premier League account and has clearly found it difficult to adapt to the demands of English football. On the other hand, Dominic Solanke has endured several setbacks during his recovery from an ankle injury. Now that the England international is fully fit, Spurs will hope he can begin scoring regularly in the upcoming matches.
Tottenham keen on signing Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic
Tottenham are keen to strengthen their squad in the coming months as they aim to close the gap on their rivals next season. The Lilywhites’ main priority is to sign a new striker who can hit the ground running immediately. With Richarlison potentially heading for the exit doors and Randal Kolo Muani unlikely to extend his loan stay at N17, the North Londoners will need to line up suitable replacements once the season comes to an end.
As per TEAMtalk, Spurs are hoping to sign €427,308 per week Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the summer. The Serbian international will become a free agent at the end of the season and has shown no signs of extending his stay at the Allianz Stadium. He is keen on a new challenge, and there is a strong chance the Lilywhites could move for him if Richarlison leaves the club.

The same report claims that the North Londoners were interested in signing him during the winter window, but Vlahovic has been ruled out with an injury until March, forcing the club to remain patient and target a move next summer. The only potential stumbling block in the deal would be the Serbian’s high wage demands. However, Spurs are reportedly willing to break their wage structure if it means strengthening their squad in the coming months.
A good deal?
Signing Vlahovic, especially on a free transfer, would be a no-brainer for the Lilywhites. The prolific striker still has his best years ahead of him and has done enough to merit a move to a major Premier League club. While he has been unfortunate with injury setbacks in recent months, he has shown encouraging signs when featuring for the Old Lady this season.
The 25-year-old has scored eight goals in 20 appearances this season, playing a key role in helping Juventus mount a title challenge. The Serbian international enjoys running into the channels and thrives in transition, allowing him to find space and time on the ball. He can be wasteful in front of goal at times, but his strong positional awareness ensures that Vlahovic regularly finds himself in promising goal-scoring positions.
Will he don the Spurs jersey in the coming months? Only time will tell. However, fans will be hoping that the Lilywhites make a serious effort to secure his signature as they look to address the glaring issues on the pitch under Thomas Frank.
