# Tottenham: Fabrizio Romano confirms Spurs’ Dusan Vlahovic interest

**Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Tottenham have a genuine interest in Dusan Vlahovic, although they have not yet made an offer for the Serbia international.**

### **The Lowdown: Spurs eye a striker**

Harry Kane previously dropped a bombshell on the club by saying he wants to leave this summer ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12309404/harry-kane-again-tells-tottenham-he-wants-to-leave-as-manchester-city-manchester-united-chelsea-lie-in-wait)), and he is yet to start a game under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/132098)).

As such, Spurs are said to be looking at signing a striker, with Vlahovic said to be on their shortlist.

### **The Latest: Spurs eye Vlahovic**

Romano has provided an update on Spurs’ pursuit of the Fiorentina striker via his [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1429407234673549314) channel.

He claimed that Spurs have a ‘genuine’ interest in Vlahovic, but they have not yet made an offer. Atletico Madrid have had a bid turned down, he added, while Manchester City are not working on the deal for the 21-year-old.

### **The Verdict: Not much time left**

There is just over a week left before the transfer window slams shut. While Harry Kane has not yet departed, Manchester City are still said to be looking to sign the England captain ([The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/08/15/harry-kane-still-wants-leave-tottenham-hopes-man-city-will/)). Until the transfer window slams shut, there is no guarantee that he will stay in north London.

Even if he were to stay this summer, Spurs would still need a new centre-forward, and Vlahovic would be a fantastic candidate. He netted 21 goals in 37 Serie A matches outfit for Fiorentina last season, and has two in two in all competitions this term ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dusan-vlahovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357498)). Also, according to Serie A expert Conor Clancy in an interview with [This Is Futbol](https://thisisfutbol.com/2021/06/blogs/premier-league/liverpool/exclusive-pundit-heaps-praise-on-incredible-liverpool-transfer-target-dusan-vlahovic-e141/), “people were saying this guy’s the real deal”, a further hint of the Serbian’s talent.

Valued at [£36m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dusan-vlahovic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/357498) and with Fiorentina eager to hold on to Vlahovic, he would not come cheap, but Daniel Levy cannot afford be to put off by a big asking price, especially if Kane doesn’t hang around much longer.
