United, Spurs track Dinamo Zagreb striker Beljo

TeamTalk reports that Manchester United are monitoring Dinamo Zagreb striker Dion Beljo in anticipation of the upcoming January transfer window. The Croatian forward has attracted attention from multiple Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, who are tracking his recent goal-scoring form.

Recent scoring record draws scrutiny

The 6ft 5in player, aged 24, has netted 12 goals in his last 14 matches. This run features 10 goals across seven league appearances for Dinamo Zagreb, alongside a strike for the national team. These statistics have prompted recruitment departments to evaluate his potential fit within their squads.

Beljo’s previous season saw him register 38 goals in 48 appearances. This consistency suggests his current performance is not merely a short-term surge but part of a broader pattern of productivity. His physical profile and growing international reputation further distinguish him in the market.

Interest remains at assessment stage

Despite the heightened visibility, negotiations have not advanced beyond initial tracking and assessment phases. Clubs are currently gathering data before determining whether to pursue a formal bid. However, the January window is emerging as a potential period for these teams to act on their evaluations.

Beyond the three primary suitors, Brentford have also been credited with interest in the striker. Additionally, both the City Football Group and BlueCo have reportedly shown attention to Beljo. Links to Newcastle United and Leeds United suggest a developing market rather than isolated club interest.

United seek competition for forwards

Manchester United remain open to acquiring a new forward to compete with Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha. Joshua Zirkzee’s future at Old Trafford is described as uncertain, influencing the club’s strategic planning. Any move for Beljo would be assessed based on immediate impact and long-term development potential.

Tottenham’s requirement for a new striker has increased according to TeamTalk, while Everton are characterized as arguably the club most in need of a forward. With Beljo described as one of the most talked-about forwards in European football, decisions regarding his availability may approach soon.
