Tottenham target 27 goal Mitrović

In a not unexpected move considering interest from Manchester United and Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur have made an enquiry for Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrović.


I wrote about the 20-year-old (21 in September) Anderlecht striker twice recently with news that Louis van Gaal was a big fan and Newcastle United had reportedly had a bid of £15 million (US$23.34m - AUS$30.19m - €20.73m) accepted. he has been watched by clubs all around Europe with Southampton, Swansea City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and ourselves just a few from the Premier League.

Dubbed the 'Serbian Balotelli' he is thought to prefer a move to a UEFA Champions League club so we would need to convince him Spurs is the right destination. The Serbian international, he already has 13 caps, scored 27 goals with 5 assists in 50 games in all competitions last season, a goal every 155 minutes.

Sport Italia journalist Alfredo Pedulia reveals Tottenham have now made a strong move for the young striker. Below are the Tweet and Article link.

This young striker has done everything asked of him so far and is ready for the next step up.
