Arsenal They remain interested in signing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to a recent report from All of Juve.
The Gunners expressed interest in signing the Serbian a couple of years ago after being impressed by his performances for Fiorentina. However, the striker ultimately opted to join Juventus after rejecting a transfer to the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal signed Gabriel Jesus of Manchester City The Brazilian has made a promising start to life at the north London club but has failed to reach the level he was thought to reach and injury problems have been one of the main issues.
Kai Havertz He moved to North London last summer and has now established himself as Arsenal's first-choice centre-forward, but Mikel Arteta He is said to be interested in signing a new prolific goalscorer.
A number of names have been floated as candidates for a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, including Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres and Ivan Toney. However, Arsenal ultimately decided not to formalise their interest in any of them before the deadline.
Vlahovic leaves for Arsenal
Now, according to a recent report (via All of Juve), Arsenal are still “on the trail” of Vlahovic and are willing to “make an assault” to secure the striker's signature next summer.
The north London club still fancy Vlahovic and are looking to sign him by taking advantage of the fact that Juventus have found it difficult to reach a new deal with him as his current contract runs until 2026.
Vlahovic, valued at around £55m by Transfer marketHe was thought to be one of the biggest prospects in world football during his time at Fiorentina, but has failed to develop since joining Juventus.
However, Arteta has the ability to revive the careers of struggling stars as he has shown with Havertz and the Spanish manager also has the ability to develop young talent with Bukayo SakaMartin Odegaard and Guillermo Saliba good examples of this.
Therefore, perhaps Arteta feels he can do the same with Vlahovic and that is why he wants to bring the 24-year-old to Arsenal. However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club ultimately opt to make a concrete approach to sign him next year.
