Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing 24-year-old Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic from Serie A club Juventus next year.
Dusan Vlahovic has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months. According to a report by TEAMtalk, Arsenal have now intensified their efforts to sign the Juventus striker, who will cost in the region of €65-70 million.
The Serb has shown his quality in Italian football over the years, and the opportunity to move to England could be quite attractive for him. Arsenal need a reliable goalscorer, and the Juvenuts star would be an exceptional acquisition for them if he manages to adapt to English quickly.
Vlahovic could transform Arsenal in the attack
Dusan Vlahovic will be an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus, who has not been able to score goals consistently since joining the club. The Brazilian international has been linked with an exit, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal are prepared to cash in on him during the January transfer window.
Apart from Jesus, Arsenal have Kai Havertz in the first-team squad. However, the German international is not a prolific goalscorer either. Investing in a striker is one of Arsenal’s priorities right now, and it is no surprise that they are looking at Vlahovic.
The Serb has done reasonably well for the Serie A club, but he has not been able to replicate his top form for the Turin giants. He played his best football at Fiorentina, and a move to Arsenal could help him get back to his best once again.
The Gunners have a free-flowing attacking system, and Vlahovic could thrive at the North London club. Apart from his goalscoring ability, his physicality, aerial prowess, and ability to bring others into the game will also benefit Arsenal.
They have put together a talented squad, and they have been pushing for the league title in the last two seasons. However, Arsenal have missed out on the title narrowly, and they need quality players who can take them across the line. It remains to be seen whether they can wrap up a move for the Serbian international attacker in the coming months.
