SHOCKING TRANSFER MELTDOWN: Tottenham’s ‘MASSIVE’ Striker Coup EXPLODES in Paratici’s Face – But Wait, He Could Still Snatch a JAW-DROPPING Miracle Deal That’ll Leave Rivals in TEARS!
TEAMtalk has provided a key update on Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of a top-class striker ahead of the January transfer window.
Despite a few complications, the possibility of securing a “bargain” deal remains strong.
Manager Thomas Frank is keen to bring in at least two attacking reinforcements — a left-winger and a central striker — to improve Spurs’ firepower.
The need is clear, as only four of Tottenham’s 25 goals this season have come from recognised strikers.
Centre-back Micky van de Ven leads the scoring charts with five, while Richarlison has three and Mathys Tel just one. Randal Kolo Muani is yet to score, and Dominic Solanke’s injury issues persist.
With scoring woes continuing, Spurs have identified Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic as a prime target. The Serbian, who has also attracted Chelsea’s interest, could be available for a modest €20 million (£17.6m).
His impressive record of seven goals in just five starts this season highlights his potential as a major upgrade on Tottenham’s current options.
The presence of sporting director Fabio Paratici, known for his successful Serie A dealings, further strengthens Spurs’ chances of sealing the move.
However, Juventus’ managerial change — replacing Igor Tudor with Luciano Spalletti — has complicated matters slightly.
According to insider Dean Jones, the main obstacle remains the terms of Vlahovic’s deal rather than his relationship with the new coach.
Juventus are reluctant to risk losing him for free in the summer, making a January sale increasingly likely.
Elsewhere, reports suggest Tottenham’s hopes of signing a proven 204-goal striker have also been evaluated, while Richarlison could be eyeing a dramatic return to Everton.
Frank, meanwhile, confirmed that two more players picked up injuries before the Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle, adding to Tottenham’s already lengthy list of absentees.
