Tottenham are keen to sign a red-hot striker like Crouch but Haaland could ruin the move

Tottenham Hotspur may be hoping to sign Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic but he has been chosen to replace Erling Haaland at Borussia Dortmund.

Kalajdzic is in pretty ridiculous shape right now.

The Austrian striker has scored four goals and provided one assist in his last six games for Stuttgart, which has had a huge impact in the fight against relegation.

A lanky 6ft 7in forward, Kalajdzic has been compared to former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch.

While Tottenham are looking for another striker to support Harry Kane up front, German newspaper Kicker claims that Fabio Paratici is showing great interest in Kalajdzic.

Antonio Conte’s side benefit greatly from crosses into the box and a big header threat like Kalajdzic could be ideal.

The problem for Tottenham is that they are far from the only club in the running to sign Kalajdzic this summer.

Because Borussia Dortmund seems keen to lure Kalajdzic around 420 kilometers north of Stuttgart.

image claim that Dortmund are eyeing Kalajdzic to replace Erling Haaland this summer, with the Norwegian likely to leave.

Haaland will leave a big hole in Dortmund’s attack should he leave. Marco Rose would then need another classic centre-forward to work with Donyell Malen.

Kalajdzic fits Dortmund and they seem to know that Stuttgart have to sell this summer.

Kalajdzic has turned down a new contract with the club and is free to leave in 2023. With that, Stuttgart will have to sell and have their sights set on around €20m (£17m) for their star striker.

That’s only a fraction of the fee Dortmund will rake in for Haaland, but they would bet on the 24-year-old Kalajdzic making a big step forward.

Tottenham will still have hope of a deal but Haaland’s big summer transfer could see Paratici and Conte looking for other targets instead of Kalajdzic.
