Although the winter transfer window has been shut for over two weeks now, and the summer transfer window is still a few months away, the rumours linking Spurs to a number of players seem to never truly go away.
Since the window shut, we have seen the club linked to the likes of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen, Moise Kean from Fiorentina, and plenty of others. We would be here all day if we were to name every single one.
That said, one of those players is Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. As per media outlet GiveMeSport, Tottenham Hotspur are the striker's "most likely destination" if he was to leave the club this summer, with it also being reported that he would like a move to the Premier League, should he depart the club.
Spurs linked with Dusan Vlahovic from Italian outfit Juventus
The Serbian striker had been the first choice striker since joining from Fiorentina in January of 2022, but has lost his place in the side of late - last starting a Serie A game in December. Ironically, the player keeping him out of the side at the moment is Randal Kolo Muani. Small world.
In terms of profile, Vlahovic is a tall - around 6'3 - striker, who is very difficult to defend in the penalty area. However, he does lack quite a lot of mobility and athleticism, and can be quite geriatric at times, which doesn't marry up too well, particularly if Ange is still in charge.
When he joined the club, the recently turned 25-year old cost around 70 million pounds, but will have only 12 months on his contract this summer, so in theory he could, and likely would cost more than that this summer.
However, one key stumbling block is that, per the report, he earns more than £300,000 a week at the Turin club. There is no way that Spurs would pay him anything close to that amount, and on this occasion, rightly so. He would not be worth a wage even similar to that.
Truthfully, the links to out and out strikers with a lot of pedigree do feel weird. Although he has missed the last month, and a couple of games at the start of the season, Dominic Solanke is not, generally, an injury prone player. He played all 38 league games for Bournemouth last season. Someone like Mathys Tel, who can play up front but also out wide, would make more sense as a permanent signing this summer.
