Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has been linked with a move away from the Serie A club in recent months, with Arsenal and Chelsea interested.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Arsenal and Chelsea are keen to sign Dusan Vlahvovic, and they have now been handed a major boost in their pursuit of the player. Juventus are prepared to lower the striker’s asking price by €10-15 million.
The Serbian international is currently valued at around €65-70 million, and the decision from the Serie A club will certainly encourage suitors like Arsenal and Chelsea to get the deal done.
Dusan Vlahovic has not been at his best since joining Juventus, and a move away from the club would be ideal for him. The player needs a fresh start, and a switch to the Premier League will be quite exciting.
Arsenal need to add a quality striker to their ranks, and the Serb seems like the ideal acquisition. He would be a major upgrade on Gabriel Jesus, who has not been able to score goals consistently since joining the club. Arsenal need a more reliable goalscorer leading the line for them if they want to win major trophies.
Arsenal and Chelsea need someone like Vlahovic
Chelsea need more depth in the attacking unit as well and have their sights set on Dusan Vlahovic. Nicolas Jackson has done reasonably well this season, but he needs more support in the final third. Chelsea are very much in the title race, and they will be hoping to go all the way. Signing a quality attacker in January could make a huge difference for them.
With the asking price now in a more reasonable bracket, it will be interesting to see if Arsenal and Chelsea step up their pursuit with an official proposal for the striker. The London clubs have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line, and they should be able to convince the player to join them as well.
Arsenal and Chelsea are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be quite attractive for the Serb. The 24-year-old has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well, and he could be a key player for either of the two London clubs. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
