Spurs have been linked with Dusan Vlahovic in recent weeks.

And it looks as though one of the reported Tottenham target’s main suitors is no longer in the race.

Gianluca Di Marzio claimed at the weekend that both Spurs and Arsenal are eyeing the Fiorentina star.

And Tuttomercatoweb have claimed that Spurs would be meeting Vlahovic’s agent today for preliminary talks.

However, Serie A champions Inter Milan would also be having talks with the representative, added the outlet.

But in a boost for Spurs, The Athletic has claimed that Vlahovic is likely to be beyond Inter’s budget this summer.

Can Spurs land Vlahovic ahead of Inter and Arsenal?

Romelu Lukaku is closing in on a return to Chelsea and Edin Dzeko is expected to replace him, claimed the report.

But while the Nerazzurri should bring in more forwards, “Fiorentina’s 21-year-old striker Dusan Vlahovic is too expensive” for them.

TMW claim the Viola value Vlahovic at €70million (£59million), while Di Marzio claim €60million (£51million) is the starting price.

New Tottenham football director Pabio Paratici has extensive knowledge of Serie A and has already brought two players over from Italy.

Could Vlahovic follow in the footsteps of Cristian Romero and Pierluigi Gollini in swapping Italy for England?

Spurs would certainly be getting a great player, who some football fans have compared to the likes of Harry Kane and Dimitar Berbatov.
