Spurs are considering making a move for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahović.
They want to partner him with Harry Kane, despite the England captain’s avowed desire to leave the club this summer.
New manager Nuno Espirito Santa wants to play with two strikers next season and Vlahović is their preferred choice, although Crotone’s Simy is also under consideration.
New Director of Football Fabio Paritici is using his knowledge of Italian football and contacts to try and identify targets.
The 21-year old Serbian began his career with Partizan Belgrade before joining the Serie A side in 2018.
He has since gone on to make 84 appearances for them, enjoying a breakthrough season for them in the last campaign, in which he scored 21 goals in 37 League games.
Vlahović has played for Serbia at every age level and has 7 full international caps. He is not likely to be cheap though – any deal for him might be worth up to £50 million.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
