Reported Tottenham target Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly leaning towards a move to the Premier League rather than remaining in Italy.
According to La Nazione, the AFC Fiorentina striker is ‘increasingly’ likely to move to England, with Spurs the favourites. With the Daily Mail recently reporting that Antonio Conte is eager to sign Vlahovic, this news bodes well for Spurs.
As per the Sun, Fiorentina would be open to selling Vlahovic for £50m. And if reports are to be believed, Daniel Levy will hand Conte a hefty transfer budget for January.
Vlahovic has been on Tottenham’s radar for some time. With the Serbian international being linked with the north London side in the summer transfer window. However, no transfer ever materialised.
However, the arrival of Conte could be the catalyst that motivates Vlahovic to make the move to Tottenham. With the Italian manager winning Serie A last season, the 21-year-old attacker could be eager to play under the former Inter Milan boss.
Moreover, with Levy likely to give Conte the funds to make signings, Vlahovic could be a realistic signing for Spurs heading into January. Especially with the striker unlikely to sign a new contract with Fiorentina.
Conte pull could bring Vlahovic to Tottenham
The hiring of Conte could prove to be the most appointment Levy has made Tottenham in recent years. With Spurs finally under control of a genuine world-class manager, the north London side now have the pulling power needed to make top signings.
And Vlahovic could be the first of many by Tottenham, with the Serbian international one of the hottest prospects in European football and a player who could lead the Spurs attack for the present and the future.
