Transfer News: Fabio Paratici lining up Dusan Vlahovic bid for Tottenham

According to transfer news from IB Times, Fabio Paratici is looking to make a bid to bring Dusan Vlahovic to Tottenham. The club are still uncertain about Harry Kane’s future, meaning that the new managing director will dip into Serie A to sign the striker likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The rumour mill has been going off relentlessly ever since news broke that Kane had informed Tottenham of his desire to leave the club at the end of the season. Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have all emerged as contenders to secure the signing of the 27-year-old England captain.

Due to the same, Tottenham and their new managing director, Fabio Paratici is looking at potential strikers to replace Kane in case he does leave. One of the names that are being looked at is that of Dusan Vlahovic of Fiorentina.

The 21-year-old has had a breakthrough season in Serie A, piling in 21 goals in 37 games. He was the fourth-highest scorer over the season, only being topped by Ronaldo, Lukaku and Muriel. The Serbian forward has also been compared to Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic due to the similarity in their physical traits.

With Kane’s future still up in the air, it makes sense to keep contingency plans in place. Vlahovic is by no means a finished product but he has shown that he can step up at such a young age. It does seem like a huge punt to take but it might well be worth the money.
