SHOCKING SPURS BOMBSHELL: £67M Superstar SNUBBED in DRAMATIC Striker Hunt TWIST – Thomas Frank’s ICE-COLD Rejection Leaves Tottenham in UTTER CHAOS! You Won’t Believe What Happens Next!
New development emerges in Spurs’ search for a long-time forward target ahead of the winter market
Tottenham Hotspur have been strongly linked with Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic for several months, with the club long thought to be targeting a proven number nine ahead of the January transfer window.
Their need for a clinical centre-forward has grown more obvious as Spurs’ current attacking options have struggled to deliver consistently this season.
Vlahovic, 25, has scored six Serie A goals so far—two more than any Tottenham striker during the same period, with Richarlison leading Spurs’ internal tally on four.
Tottenham cool interest in Vlahovic
However, TeamTalk now reports that Tottenham have opted not to pursue Vlahovic this winter.
Although earlier suggestions claimed Spurs might secure him for a reduced fee due to his contract entering its final six months, the club has reportedly stepped back from the race.
According to the latest insight, Tottenham have no plans to approach Juventus in January or entertain fresh discussions about the player’s availability.
Sources close to the club say new head coach Thomas Frank is instead pushing for a different type of forward—one whose attributes align more closely with the system he is currently building.
There is a growing internal view that, despite Vlahovic’s quality, he does not stylistically match what Spurs need at this stage of Frank’s tactical restructuring.
Attention shifts to alternative striker targets
These developments emerge just as Vlahovic has rediscovered his sharpness in Turin.
The Serbian international’s form has improved notably under new Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti, whose arrival appears to have revitalised the striker’s confidence and role within the team.
As a result, optimism is reportedly increasing within Juventus that Vlahovic will agree to a new long-term deal before the season ends—an outcome that would remove him from the transfer market altogether.
Tottenham still intend to add a centre-forward in January, but their focus is now turning towards alternative profiles deemed a better fit for Frank’s approach.
The club is expected to explore a number of new attacking options that align more closely with the tactical identity being established under the new regime.
