Tottenham Hotspur have had a series of mixed results under Thomas Frank but nine matches into the Premier League season, they find themselves third in the standings, which is a testament to the manager’s impact on the dressing room.
In spite of not having a reliable goal-scorer, the Lilywhites have managed to churn out the results at times and with the current quality in their defence and individually in other positions, a few more signings could make them significantly more competitive.
Christian Falk has reported that Tottenham are looking to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, and their bid to do so has been significantly strengthened by Bayern Munich cooling interest in the Serbian international’s acquisition.
Vlahovic is expected to be a free agent next summer upon the expiry of his contract with the Bianconeri, who are keen on retaining the player’s services but have been put off by his wage demands of close to £200,000 per week.
Vlahovic a brilliant signing for Spurs
Dusan Vlahovic has produced brilliant numbers at Fiorentina earlier in his career and more recently at Juventus even though they have not been at their best since several seasons. A switch to Tottenham Hotspur could exponentially help his career too.
With Spurs investing in the likes of Mohammad Kudus and Xavi Simons in the summer, their creative department is at its peak and a potent finisher in the box is all they need to pick up more points than they already have so far.
Given that Dominic Solanke has not maintained his fitness and Richarlison has struggled for form too, Vlahovic might be the missing piece in Thomas Frank’s plans with the Dane’s system also likely to get the best out of him.
