Tottenham have been linked to Fulham striker.
Tottenham Hotspur tried to sign Aleksandr Mitrovic on transfer deadline day, Teamtalk has reported.
The report claims Spurs could go back in for the Serbian in the likely event that 19th placed Fulham are relegated.
Mitrovic is Fulham’s top scorer and performed strongly against Tottenham in their most recent match in January.
He gave defender Davinson Sanchez a tough time, and this will have been noted by manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Mitrovic would be a potential replacement for Fernando Llorente, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
He would be an excellent alternative to Harry Kane, providing he is happy to spend time sitting on the sidelines.
The link to Mitrovic brought a mixed reaction, with some Tottenham fans expressing their hope that Fulham teammate Ryan Sessegnon is signed instead.
Sessegnon is only 18 and has been a regular in the top flight this season.
While he has found the step up a level trickier than some anticipated, this summer would be the ideal time for Spurs to renew interest in him.
