Newcastle and Tottenham 'ready to lead £50m transfer battle for Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic' as the Italian side prepare to sell their in-demand Serbian striker 'as soon as January'

Newly-loaded Newcastle and Tottenham are primed to duke it out over a £50million battle to sign Serbian star striker Dusan Vlahovic.

The Fiorentina forward has been on the radar of several top-flight European clubs over the summer, and the club are resigned to losing Vlahovic possibly as soon as the January transfer window, according to The Sun.

Newcastle could make the 21-year-old their first big signing since their Saudi takeover as a statement of intent regarding their new might in the transfer market.
