Dion Beljo, who is being tracked by Tottenham Hotspur, has demonstrated that he is good enough to deliver against Premier League opposition, but that may not be entirely good news for the Lilywhites.

A whole host of centre-forwards around Europe are reportedly being watched by Spurs, who have prioritised signing a number nine to their squad in January.

It first emerged at the start of last month that Tottenham had been impressed by Dinamo Zagreb striker Dion Beljo, who has made an exceptional start to the new season.

The centre-forward has scored 19 goals and provided nine assists in just 20 games this term, and several sources had named Spurs as one of the leading contenders to land the Croat.

If Roberto De Zerbi’s side had any doubts over the 24-year-old’s ability to translate his goalscoring prowess to Premier League level, those doubts were put to rest recently.

The centre-forward showcased his quality at the highest level when his side travelled to the Stadium of Light last week for a Europa League fixture.

Beljo found the back of the net in the first half as Dinamo secured a famous 2-0 win against the Premier League outfit.

TEAMtalk have revealed that Spurs, Everton, and Man Utd have all shown strong interest in the Croat, who is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after strikers around the continent.

In addition, the report claims that Brighton, Brentford, Newcastle and Leeds have also been tracking the Dinamo star’s performances closely this season.

His performance in the North East last week would not have gone unnoticed at those clubs.

Two Premier League clubs watched Beljo at the Stadium of Light

According to TEAMtalk, both Newcastle and Leeds sent representatives to Wearside to watch the 24-year-old in action last Thursday and gather informationa bout him.

Additionally, the website claims that Sunderland have also joined the growing list of Premier League clubs looking to bring Beljo to England, having watched him pose problems to their backline first-hand.

It is suggested that a big move in January now looks ‘increasingly likely’ for the striker, who is showing no signs of slowing down in front of goal.

It was reported last month that Beljo is valued at around €20m to €25m (£16.8m-£21m) by Dinamo, but there is every chance their valuation could have increased on the back of the striker’s recent performances and the increased competition for his signature.
