future advances from his current club.

Despite speculation swirling about his future, he is continuing to do what shot him to stardom in the first place; find the back of the net.

La Viola were held to a 2-2 home draw with Sassuolo on Sunday lunchtime, but that did not stop the Serbian making the headlines once more.

2-0 down at half-time, Vlahovic struck 6 minutes into the second half, sparking a comeback that saw them wrestle an unlikely point from the jaws of defeat.

And in doing so, he continued to set records.

His strike took him to 33 goals in 2021, an impressive return for any forward, not least for a 21-year-old still learning his craft.

And in reaching this landmark, he matched the great Cristiano Ronaldo for most Serie A goals in a calendar year since 1960.

He will even have a chance to go past the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner when Fiorentina take on Verona on the 22nd of December, and fire himself into the history books on his own accord.

Where next?

It seems almost inevitable that Vlahovic will leave Florence in the coming two transfer windows, but where will he go?

Arsenal have been heavily linked with the striker, but it is thought that he has set his sights higher than the Gunners. Meanwhile, Tottenham’s need for a striker in his mould has cooled since Harry Kane stayed at the club.

Manchester City are in need of a number 9, having failed in their pursuit of Kane, but it is unclear whether they will make a move for him either.

All three of the above clubs have been linked with the striker of late. Where will the Serbian end up?
