Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has predicted his Serbian teammate and reported Tottenham target Dusan Vlahovic to become one of the best in the world.
Speaking to FIFA’s official website ahead of tonight’s World Cup qualifier against Portugal, the Lazio dynamo has claimed that the AFC Fiorentina star has the potential to dominate in Europe.
Vlahovic is a target for Tottenham. With Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici keen to bring the 21-year-old to north London in January. The Serbian attacker has been one of the best players in Italy this season. With the striker scoring ten goals in all competitions.
Indeed, the attacker is likely to leave Fiorentina in 2022, and Tottenham appear to be winning the race for Vlahovic. Moreover, for Milinkovic-Savic, who Lazio reportedly value at £67m, the striker could become one of the best in the world.
Milinkovic-Savic said when asked about how good Vlahovic is: “Good? He’s not good, he’s outstanding. I’m quite certain the stats would back that up, considering his age.
“In both training and matches, he never takes it lightly when he misses a chance, so he has a hunger for scoring goals and winning. I like how he wants to prove himself, so I think he’s bound to become one of the greats.”
Vlahovic praise from Milinkovic-Savic highlights just how good he is
The Fiorentina attacker is one of the most in-demand players in Europe. And Milinkovic-Savic’s praise of Vlahovic just proves how good the striker could become one day, and how important it is that Spurs win the race for him.
Indeed, with Harry Kane not firing this season and Manchester City still reportedly keen on the England captain, Vlahovic could be the man to replace the Tottenham star should he depart in 2022.
