Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for Dusan Vlahovic – and Fiorentina now fancy signing Krzysztof Piatek to replace him.

Tottenham have had years to try and find competition for Harry Kane. Remarkably, we’re approaching 2022 and this is still a huge problem.

Vincent Janssen, Fernando Llorente, Carlos Vinicius? This isn’t the calibre of striker Tottenham need to help Kane.

Vlahovic looks more like the quality Tottenham need, and Fabio Paratici is keen.

Tottenham talks for Vlahovic

Tuttomercatoweb reported on Wednesday that Tottenham are in ongoing talks to try and secure Vlahovic.

Tottenham allegedly want to move in before Italian clubs do, and that’s why the talks have started so early.

The Serbian hitman hit 21 goals in 37 games last season. Vlahovic also has six goals in eight games already this term.

At just 21, Vlahovic appears to have a huge future ahead of him – and Fiorentina are preparing for life without him.

Fiorentina target Piatek

Fantacalcio report that Fiorentina want to sign Hertha Berlin striker Piatek if Vlahovic goes.

The Pole is something of a ghost of Tottenham striking pursuits past. Tottenham tried to sign Piatek from AC Milan in January 2020.

Now in Germany, Piatek only managed seven league goals last season. The 26-year-old isn’t at Tottenham’s level anymore, but he could help them land Vlahovic.
