The Mail claim Antonio Conte has identified his two transfer priorities at Tottenham Hotspur, in the form of Dusan Vlahovic and Nicolo Barella.

Vlahovic, 21, has been linked with Tottenham for a while. In the summer, he was considered a replacement for Harry Kane – but Kane never left.

Little surprise – the Serbia international netted 21 Serie A goals last season. This time around, he already has 10 goals in 12 games for Fiorentina.

The report claims Conte is keen on bringing Vlahovic to North London – while also raiding his old side Inter. Barella, 24, is also an option.

The Italy international was part of his country’s starting line-up during the Euro 2020 final. He has sparkled at Inter since joining in 2019.

Barella has clocked up 101 appearances for Inter since his move, laying on a huge 27 assists. He was a workhorse in Conte’s Serie A winning midfield.

Vlahovic, Barella would be superb Conte additions at Tottenham

All eyes are on the January transfer window, at Tottenham. Conte chose to reject Spurs in the summer, with doubts over spending and ambition.

But Tottenham have since kept Kane, and something must have given for Conte to accept a move. Surely, Daniel Levy will now spend in January.

The start to the season might have also convinced Levy that Spurs are miles off the required pace. They need serious strengthening in January.

If Spurs can convince Fiorentina and Inter to sell their star players in Vlahovic and Barella, then Conte would be adding two top players at Spurs.
