Euro Paper Talk: Tottenham on ‘front row’ to sign €60m Serie A striker; Liverpool midfield target offered to Juventus

Tottenham remain on the ‘front row’ to sign a Serie A striker in a potential €60m deal, while a Liverpool and Arsenal midfield target has been offered to Juventus – both in Friday’s Euro Paper Talk.

SPURS WELL PLACED TO LAND €60M STRIKER

Tottenham are in the ‘front row’ to complete a new striker signing this summer, although they will have to pay at least €60m (£51m) to get their man.

There remain huge doubts over Harry Kane’s future in north London, with the England skipper still a no-show for pre-season training, having been expected to return last Monday.

The 28-year-old is still said to be on holiday in Florida, as Spurs continue their preparations for the new season.

Their first game of the Premier League new campaign is against the main suitors for his signature Manchester City on August 15. However, at this stage it looks incredibly unlikely he will face Pep Guardiola’s men, as Kane still tries to force through an exit.

With that in mind, sporting director Fabio Paratici continues to look for a potential replacement, or even strike partner if Kane stays.

And chief among the targets is Fiorentina hitman Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbia star has also emerged as a target for Inter Milan, if Romelu Lukaku heads back to Chelsea.

A fresh report from Gazzetta dello Sport claims that the north London side ‘are already in the front row for his signing’. However, any arrival continues to be ‘linked to the possible sale of Harry Kane’.

Rocco Commisso, Fiorentina’s owner, ‘wants at least €60m to sit down at a table to negotiate’, which even with Lukaku’s sale would be tough for Inter to match.

That leaves the door firmly open for Tottenham to strike a deal, which could happen sooner rather than later if they want a true No.9 on the pitch against City.
