Tottenham to drop Vinicius and focus on Stuttgart striker Kalajdzic

Tottenham will be sending striker Carlos Vinicius back to parent club Benfica this summer.

The Daily Mail says Spurs does not intend to trigger the permanent option in the Brazilian's loan deal - amounting to €45m - and will return the player to Benfica.

Instead, Tottenham are already preparing a replacement for Vinícius, with the priority target set: Sasa Kalajdzic.

The Austrian striker, who plays for Stuttgart, has in the current season scored 15 goals in 30 matches.

Kalajdzic talked up the prospect of playing in England with Liverpool last month.
