6 Players That Tottenham Hotspur Could Sign In January
3. Dusan Vlahovic
The Serbian international has been in an exceptional form for Fiorentina this season. Vlahovic has been finding the net very often in a league that is well known for its defence. He has scored 15 goals in 17 games in Serie A this season and has also scored 6 goals in 10 games for Serbia and helped them to qualify for the World Cup.
With Harry Kane being out of form for some time, Vlahovic could be a very good replacement. He is very lethal in front of the goa. Man City and Newcastle United are among the clubs that have been keeping an eye out for the striker. He has a price tag of around £70 million, and Spurs are definitely interested.
2. Matthijs de Ligt
De Ligt has very well established himself as a solid defender in world football at a very young age. He captained his Ajax side to the Champions League semi-final at the age of just 20, which clearly demonstrates his mental strength. Conte would like to bring such a mentality monster to his team. He has grown very much as a defender, having played for Juventus in Serie A for two seasons, learning from the best.
Rumours have been linking him with a few clubs and he would definitely be in demand if Juventus decides to cash in. It does appear that he is likely to move away from Turin soon. The lethal duo of Eric Dier and De Ligt would act as a wall for attackers in the Premier League if the deal is successful. Conte seems to be a huge admirer of the Dutchman and has made him a priority but who knows where the young starlet decides to end up.
1. Nicolo Barella
Another former player of the Italian manager who is linked with the club. He was rumoured to be associated with Spurs as soon as Conte was appointed manager. Barella is a very talented player who is among one of the best in the Serie A and was definitely a vital one in Conte’s Inter Milan. Barella is an intelligent and very well composed midfielder.
It would definitely be a good move for the young star to move to England as it would allow him to show his potential at a bigger stage. There have been rumours that he might extend his contract with the Nerazzurri but if that doesn’t come to pass, he could very possibly be heading towards the North London club.
