Arsenal are considering trying to sign Juventus Striker Dusan Vlahovic in the January transfer window, TEAMtalk can reveal.
While Mikel Arteta has repeatedly heaped praise on Kai Havertz for leading Arsenal‘s attack, the north London team have been on the lookout for an out-and-out number nine.
Vlahovic has been a long-term target for the Gunners but for the time being, the 24-year-old remains at Juventus – with his contract running until 2026.
And their admiration for the Serbia international has not dwindled. TEAMtalk can reveal that Arsenal have reached out to his entourage again as Juve boss Thiago Motta is not entirely satisfied with how the forward fits into his system.
Conversely, Arteta sees Vlahovic as an ideal player for his style of play and the same could be said for Newcastle United talisman Alexander Isak.
While the Magpies want upwards of £115m for their striker, it is believed that the Bianconeri are open to offers for Vlahovic of around £53.6m.
