Tottenham are closely monitoring the situation of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, with reports suggesting the north London club are ready to battle Chelsea for his signature this summer.
According to Foot Mercato, the Serbian marksman is attracting significant interest from the Premier League as his stay in Turin draws to a close.
European giants such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been tracking him, but England now appear to be his frontrunners.
Tottenham will continue to “keep an eye on his progress” and see the 26-year-old as a potential long-term signing to lead the team.
Dusan Vlahovic to leave for free in summer
The complete breakdown in contract negotiations between Vlahovic and Juventus has sent a warning to Premier League clubs.
The striker’s current contract expires in June 2026, making him available as a free agent at the end of the season.
Juventus had hoped to tie their star forward on new terms, but negotiations stalled over wage demands and the old ladies were resigned to losing a player they once signed for more than 80 million euros for free.
This presents a golden market opportunity for Spurs, who could potentially acquire a world-class number nine for no transfer fee, but competition for his wages will be fierce.
They face stiff competition from Premier League clubs such as Newcastle and Chelsea, as well as from overseas.
Vlahovic’s impressive scoring record
Despite recent contract turmoil, Vlahovic’s pedigree as one of Europe’s most lethal finishers is undeniable.
Since his breakthrough with Fiorentina, the Serbian international has scored over 90 goals in Serie A and is consistently ranked among the league’s top scorers.
With his record, he belongs to an elite company. Along with Erling Haaland, he is one of the few strikers born after 1999 to reach the 40-goal mark in Europe’s top five leagues so quickly.
Vlahovic remained clinically sharp during the suspended 2025/26 season, scoring three goals in four Champions League games before being sidelined with an adductor injury in December.
| club | Appearance | the goal | assist |
|---|---|---|---|
| Juventus FC | 162 | 64 | 16 |
| ACF Fiorentina | 108 | 49 | 8 |
| FK Partizan Belgrade | 27 | 3 | 1 |
| fiorentina spring | twenty two | 20 | 1 |
| total | 319 | 136 | 26 |
Spurs scouts reportedly believe his physical profile, aerial superiority and lethal left foot are tailor-made for the physicality of the Premier League.
Tottenham need a deadly striker
Spurs’ interest in Vlahovic is driven by a looming crisis in their attacking department, with mass exodus expected this summer.
Richarlison faces an uncertain future, with reports claiming the club are finally ready to sign the Brazilian after a shaky spell in north London.
Furthermore, the loan experiment with Randal Kolo Muani appears to have failed. The Frenchman has struggled to adapt to the Premier League and is widely expected to return to PSG once his interim contract ends.
Further complicating matters is the situation of young talent Matthijs Tell, who is likely to leave in search of a regular first-team spot.
Signing a proven goalscorer like Vlahovic is a key priority for the Spurs hierarchy as their current options are reduced.
