Tottenham in “pole position” to make striker their first signing under Antonio Conte
Clubs chase Dusan Vlahovic
One of the most in demand strikers in world football, Dusan Vlahovic, is set to spark a transfer frenzy, with severe knock-on effects, when he decides to move.
The Serbian international has already announced he will not be signing a new contract with Fiorentina, with his current deal set to expire in 2023.
As such, several clubs are sniffing around the man who has 8 goals in 12 Serie A appearances, with Arsenal among those interested according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
There are currently no talks ongoing between Dušan Vlahovic agents and Arsenal board. Gunners are among many club following Vlahovic situation – but there’s nothing advanced as of today. 🇷🇸 #AFC
Fiorentina want €70/80m to sell Vlahovic in January. He’s out of contract in 2023.

However, the Gunners may be in for a nasty surprise.
Tottenham “in pole position” to sign Vlahovic
As per recent reports, it is Arsenal’s north London rivals Tottenham that are in “pole position” to sign the Serbia star. According to the report, while Juventus are also interested, Tottenham are ready to cough up significantly more cash than the Turin side, which may ultimately prove decisive.

Added to this, Tottenham’s hierarchy has strong Serie A links, with Fabio Paratici and now Antonio Conte having spent much of their time in Italy with Juventus and Inter Milan. As such, they undoubtedly have far more attraction to prospective signings than most that can afford the Serbian.
For Spurs, it would represent a statement signing, although there are questions as to how he would play with Harry Kane, or whether Manchester City may return for the wantaway England captain.
