Possible agreement
Arsenal tracked the Serbian sensation during his early years at Fiorentina when he was compared to Erling Haaland. Vlahovic was sensational in 2021 with 34 goals to his name, but his form has taken a nosedive since his move to Juventus.
The striker has only scored 48 goals in 111 appearances for the Turin heavyweights, but has been in good form this campaign with 7 goals in 10 appearances. Juventus' decision to replace Massimiliano Allegri with Thiago Motta as coach has brought out the best in Vlahovic.
Arsenal's hierarchy may have a similar opinion about the player. gunner chief Mikel Arteta has transformed the fortunes of Kai Havertz. The German lacked confidence after his departure from Chelseabut he is currently the go-to person to lead the club's attack.
Vlahovic has started to recover after a couple of difficult campaigns and Arteta could also bring out the best in him. The Serbian is a more traditional striker, but Arsenal wouldn't mind as long as he can score goals for them regularly.
