# Tottenham Hotspur: Dusan Vlahovic ‘really’ wants to join Lilywhites

**According to a report by Italian news outlet [Fanta Calcio](https://www.fantacalcio.it/calciomercato/ultime/15_07_2021/fiorentina-respinta-la-prima-offerta-del-tottenham-per-vlahovic-le-cifre-409236), Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic ‘really’ wants to join Tottenham Hotspur – with the Lilywhites already tabling an offer.**

### The Lowdown: Vlahovic on the radar…

The Serbian powerhouse has been heavily linked to Tottenham over these last few weeks, with reliable reports from [the Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tottenham-set-to-appoint-nuno-espirito-santo-and-end-chaotic-search-for-new-head-coach-p30cfxjgb?utm_medium=Social#) detailing Spurs have held talks over him.

Vlahovic is a valuable commodity all over Europe after a head-turning Serie A campaign as Spurs eye his signature alongside the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United from the Premier League ([TUTTOmercatoWEB](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/fiorentina-anche-con-italiano-la-sostanza-non-cambia-per-il-club-vlahovic-e-incedibile-1555430)).

### The Latest: Vlahovic eyeing Spurs…

As per Fanta Calcio, the 21-year-old ‘really’ likes Spurs and the Lilywhites have now tabled a [€40 million (£34.1m) offer](https://www.fantacalcio.it/calciomercato/ultime/15_07_2021/fiorentina-respinta-la-prima-offerta-del-tottenham-per-vlahovic-le-cifre-409236) for his services.

However, Fiorentina executives have rejected their bid and will only sell for around [€60m (£51.1m)](https://www.fantacalcio.it/calciomercato/ultime/15_07_2021/fiorentina-respinta-la-prima-offerta-del-tottenham-per-vlahovic-le-cifre-409236), with this report claiming to ‘watch out’ for next week as Vlahovic’s future in Serie A could be decided ‘in a few days’.

Tottenham apparently see the [6 foot 3](https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/it-serie-a/2021/03/who-is-dusan-vlahovic-fiorentinas-serbian-striker-interesting-arsenal) striker as a replacement for superstar Harry Kane and are trying to convince Fiorentina to sell, so much so that Fabio Paratici and co have apparently been ‘pressing’ for weeks.

### The Verdict: Get it done…

Even though Spurs have had their initial £34.1m offer rejected, we urge Paratici to come back with a bid far closer to the valuation.

Lauded as a ‘phenomenon’ by former Italy international Antonio Di Natale (Rtv38 via [TMW](https://m.tuttomercatoweb.com/altre-notizie/toto-di-natale-su-vlahovic-giovane-tra-i-top-in-europa-a-breve-pronto-per-barcellona-o-real-1514815)), he notched an incredible 21 goals and three assists in 34 Serie A starts over 2020/2021 ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/315369/Show/Dusan-Vlahovic)).

At just 21-years-old, a figure around £51.1m is arguably a steal in the long term if he develops further after last season, but of course Tottenham’s [precarious finances](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9463591/Tottenham-sell-buy-summer-transfer-window.html) will be a factor determining this move.

If Paratici can negotiate a compromise fee, Vlahovic would come as a sensational signing.
