Tottenham Hotspur are in the race to sign Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic – and one agent thinks he may be North London-bound this summer.

Outside of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, there may not be a more in-demand striker in Europe right now than Vlahovic.

The Serbian just can’t stop scoring for Fiorentina. After 21 goals last season, Vlahovic took his tally for this season to 17 tonight.

Vlahovic won’t be at Fiorentina for long, especially because his contract expires in the summer of 2023.

A summer move looks likely for Vlahovic, and a move to Tottenham could be on the cards if Fabio Paratici gets his way.

Football London claim that Paratici is very close with Vlahovic’s agent Davide Torchia, and some sources believe the striker could be off to Tottenham.

You do have to wonder exactly where Vlahovic would fit in at Tottenham though, even Antonio Conte ends up playing two up front.

That’s what Conte did at Inter Milan, using Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku in a title-winning campaign.

You can maybe imagine Dusan Vlahovic and Harry Kane working together up front, but jamming Son Heung-min into the side as a number 10 would stifle his qualities.

Finding the cash for Vlahovic won’t be easy either, especially if Tottenham don’t sell Kane any time soon.

Still, Tottenham continue to be linked with Vlahovic and more claims have emerged over in Italy.

Agent Beppe Accardi, who may well know Torchia from the agent scene in Italy, has been speaking about Vlahovic.

Accardi was brief in his comments, but admitted his belief that Vlahovic may end up signing for Tottenham.

“I believe he will go to England,” said Accardi. “He could go to Tottenham,” he added to Tuttomercatoweb.

Accardi didn’t say Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City or any of the other English clubs linked with Vlahovic,

Instead it’s Tottenham being talked up for Vlahovic, in what could be an exciting transfer.
