Tottenham Hotspur have been tracking Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic ahead of a possible summer raid for the player, claim reports in Italy.

Italian newspaper La Nazione reports that Vlahovic will be in demand this summer after progressing with the Florence side.

Serie A rivals Roma are also keen on the 21-year-old, who has 12 goals in 26 league appearances this season.
