Transfer: Tottenham ready to fill the void left by Kane’s exit

Tottenham are reportedly planning to submit a big offer to Juventus in January as they finally look to fill the void left by Harry Kane’s disappointing summer exit.

Ange Postecoglou is desperate to bring in a new No.9 and a centre-back in January after being hit hard by injuries and suspensions during his first six months as Spurs boss.

And, despite reports that Brentford’s Ivan Toney remains the club’s top striker target, a fresh report has revealed that the north London side are ready to turn to an old target instead.

Tottenham have been chasing Juve forward Dusan Vlahovic for some time. Indeed, the Serbia international was tipped to sign when it was thought that Kane would be on his way to Manchester City.

Spurs’ record scorer finally parted company with the club when he moved to the Bundesliga over the summer. However, Postecoglou did not land a direct replacement for the England skipper and opted to move Son Heung-min centrally after Richarlison’s early season struggles.

And while that move has paid off, with the South Korean scoring nine Premier League goals so far, Postecoglou still feels he needs more from the position – especially when you consider how many chances Tottenham have missed when dominating games this season.

That is where the clinical Vlahovic comes in, with the player also linked with Arsenal and Manchester United in the past.

A bidding war is expected to take place for the 23-year-old, with Juventus reportedly bracing themselves for some big offers at the turn of the year.

Vlahovic has been deemed as the ‘ideal’ signing by Postecoglou, given his likeness to Kane although he prefers to play off the shoulder of the last defender, which suits Postecoglou’s style more.
