Atletico Madrid have agreed on a €70m (£60m) for Tottenham and Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic, according to Corriere Dello Sport.
What’s the story?
According to the publication, the transfer for the ‘complete’ centre-forward is a done deal.
It emerged two days ago that Spurs were hoping to secure a double deal for the Fiorentina front man and his teammate Nikolas Milenkovic.
He was also a target for Arsenal who, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, ‘liked’ the Lilywhites more.
But, now it seems a move to La Liga is all wrapped up in a bitter blow to both north London clubs.
Vlahovic would have been great Spurs signing
Tottenham’s chase of a central striker has taken them far and wide this summer.
There have been links with a raft of different targets, including Lautaro Martinez, Patrick Bamford and Vlahovic.
The latter would have been the perfect acquisition for Tottenham amid news of a £60m deal elsewhere.
At just 21, he has already set the Italian top flight alight. He was the fourth top-scorer in Serie A last season with 21 goals
Vlahovic would have progressed nicely in north London and been a great focal point for Spurs’ counterattacks.
However, the opportunity seems to be fading away in a blow to Nuno Espirito Santo.
