Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has been linked with a move to Manchester City, and the Londoners are already lining up replacements for the England international.

There have been reports that the 27-year-old is heading to Manchester City in a £160 million deal this summer, and the Premier League side have now identified Dusan Vlahovic as his alternative.

The 21-year-old Fiorentina striker had an outstanding season in the Italian league last year, and he managed to score 21 goals for the Viola.

Vlahovic has the potential to develop into one of the best centre forwards in the world, and he could prove to be the ideal long term replacement for Harry Kane.

Tottenham will struggle to bring established players to replace Kane because of the absence of Champions League football, and they will have to invest in quality young players.

Vlahovic is a towering centre forward who is an excellent finisher and is accomplished in the air as well.

He has the technical and the physical attributes to succeed in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen if the Londoners can agree on a fee with Fiorentina now.

A move to the Premier League would be a step up for the striker, and he is likely to be tempted to join Tottenham this summer.

That said, the 21-year-old is still quite young, and the fans will have to be patient with him if he joins the club.

Vlahovic will need time to settle into the Premier League before he can make a significant impact for the first team.
