1) Dusan Vlahovic (Fiorentina) – A possible Harry Kane replacement for Tottenham?

The 21-year-old Serb has been in red-hot for Fiorentina, scoring 8 goals in 12 appearances so far this season, following on a 21 goal domestic campaign the last time around. Vlahovic is young, technically gifted, strong and looks to have a predatorial sense for goal.

He’s out of contract with Fiorentina at the end of the season and is looking extremely unlikely to sign a new deal, making this window the only chance for the club to cash out on his enormous talent before he becomes a free agent.

Conte has overseen some very successful two-striker pairings; most recently igniting a phenomenal Lukaku-Martinez partnership at Inter meaning that Vlahovic could be used alongside the world-class Harry Kane under Conte.

With his public intention to leave last summer and renewed talk of an attempt from Manchester City to sign Harry Kane, January is an ideal time for Spurs to pick up Vlahovic.

He is a striker with bags of potential, with a view to replacing Kane either immediately or in the summer, having gotten half a season under his belt to get adjusted to the Premier League.
