‘Exceptional’ Juventus star’s agent contacts Tottenham amid transfer links

Tottenham are targeting Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic for the number nine position

Tottenham Hotspur need to bring in reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window. The Lilywhites are languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table after enduring a disastrous campaign. It is quite clear that new signings are needed in the summer to bolster the quality of the squad and provide significant squad depth for next season.

But first, Daniel Levy must make a decision regarding Ange Postecoglou’s future at N17. The Australian is under tremendous pressure to turn the fortunes of the North London club around. After enduring a tough domestic campaign, Spurs might need to adopt a ‘sell-to-buy’ policy if they want to improve the quality of the squad and bring in world-class players for next season.

Many key players have struggled to make an impact for the Lilywhites this season. Last summer’s statement signing Dominic Solanke also admitted that he had a tough start to life at N17. However, the England international is now showcasing his true potential in recent weeks and getting his goal-scoring touch back. However, the same cannot be said about other attackers like Richarlison and Mathys Tel.

Tottenham take a huge stride in their efforts to sign Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic

Tottenham need to bring in a quality attacker in the summer to partner up with Dominic Solanke. With Richarlison heading for the exit doors and Mathys Tel struggling to make an impact, Spurs will need to sign a world-class replacement if they want to close the gap on their rivals next season.

It was reported earlier last week that Juventus were open to sell Dusan Vlahovic in the summer for a fee of around £20million. Now, renowned journalist Graeme Bailey has reported (via Football Fancast) that Spurs have been contacted by Vlahovic’s agent in their bid to see out a potential exit and head to England once the season ends. The Lilywhites have always retained an interest in the Serbian, so negotiating a deal should not be a problem.

The Serbia international’s stock has taken a massive dip in the last two seasons. Vlahovic has struggled with consistency and the constant changing of tactics have not helped his cause his either. The 25-year-old has scored 14 goals and provided five assists in all competitions this season for the Old Lady. It is quite clear to see that the ex-Fiorentina star has struggled with confidence in front of goal.

A new environment might just be what the Juventus No.9 needs. At Spurs, Vlahovic would provide a different dynamic in the attack as compared to Dominic Solanke. The 25-year-old thrives in transitions and likes to run in behind the defenders, which is ideal for the way Ange Postecoglou makes his team play. He also tends to use his aerial threat and instinctive finishing effectively.

Dusan Vlahovic would provide perfect competition to Dominic Solanke. As Tottenham aim to endure a better campaign next year and compete with their rivals for trophies, adding Vlahovic to the squad would be a no-brainer. And completing a deal for around £20million would prove to be value-for-money.
