Tottenham Hotspur are once again making moves behind the scenes to strengthen their attacking options, and this time, Fabio Paratici seems ready to pull off another major signing.
The return of the experienced Italian sporting director has brought excitement back to North London, especially given his successful track record during his first spell, when he was instrumental in bringing in Cristian Romero and Dejan Kulusevski.
With the January transfer window approaching, Paratici is already laying the groundwork for a deal that could transform Spurs’ attack and perfectly complement Mohammed Kudus.
Reports suggest that Tottenham have reignited their interest in Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović, a player Paratici knows well from his connections with Serie A.
The Serbian forward, whose contract with Juventus expires in 2026, has been on Spurs’ radar for a while, and the club now looks ready to make a serious push for his signature.
Known for his strength, precision, and ability to find the back of the net, Vlahović could be the ideal number nine that Spurs have been missing since Harry Kane’s departure.
While Tottenham were linked recently with Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo who has impressed with six goals and three assists in his first seven league matches it’s Vlahović who truly excites the hierarchy.
His proven ability at the top level and his powerful style of play make him a natural fit for Thomas Frank’s system, one that relies on quick link-ups, intelligent movement, and physical presence in the box.
Vlahović’s numbers speak for themselves. So far this season, he has scored six goals in 11 matches, showing the kind of consistency Spurs need. His technical stats highlight why he could thrive in England and why his partnership with Kudus could be game-changing for Tottenham’s attack.
| Dušan Vlahović – Juventus 2025/26 Stats (per 90) | Tally |
|---|---|
| Games Played | 11 |
| Goals Scored | 6 |
| Shots on Target | 1.2 |
| Shot Accuracy | 43% |
| Aerial Duels Won | 2.4 |
| Goals per 90 | 0.81 |
| Touches in Opponent Box | 4.5 |
| Fouls Won | 1.7 |
These figures underline his quality and why Paratici sees him as a priority signing. Vlahović’s aerial strength and sharp finishing would give Spurs a strong focal point, while Kudus’ creativity and crossing ability could flourish even more with such a target ahead of him.
Kudus, who joined from West Ham United for £55 million, has already become a fan favourite by registering one goal and four assists the highest in the squad so far this season. His pace, vision, and ability to find pockets of space make him a dream partner for a striker like Vlahović.
The Ghanaian’s performances have been crucial to Spurs’ Europa League campaign and Premier League push, and the addition of a prolific striker could take his game to an even higher level.
Vlahović, praised by Italian legend Luca Toni as “one of the best strikers in the world,” has all the attributes to complement Kudus strong hold-up play, intelligent positioning, and clinical finishing.
If Paratici manages to secure the Juventus star, Spurs could be looking at a forward line that balances creativity, power, and technical excellence.
Vlahović’s ability to win duels and his poacher’s instinct inside the box would relieve pressure from Kudus, allowing the midfielder more freedom to create.
Moreover, Vlahović ranks in the 92nd percentile for goals scored per 90 minutes in Italy a clear indicator of his elite finishing level. Such a signing would not only improve Tottenham’s goal output but also give Thomas Frank’s side tactical flexibility against top Premier League opponents.
There’s no confirmation yet whether Spurs will move for Vlahović in January or next summer, but the intent is clear. Paratici wants to restore Tottenham’s attacking dominance by pairing Kudus with one of Europe’s deadliest strikers. It’s a move that could redefine the club’s offensive identity and push them closer to competing with England’s elite once again.
If Vlahović does make the switch to North London, fans could witness a thrilling partnership Kudus providing the creative spark, and Vlahović finishing with ruthless efficiency. Together, they could form the foundation of a new era at Tottenham, one built on precision, power, and purpose.
