Arsenal must have a striker who delivers 20+ goals, season after season. We’ve lost count of how many transfer windows the London club has had striker reinforcement as a priority, without a full-blooded No. 9 signing with the Gunners. Now comes an opening that could see Arsenal pull out 55 million euros.
It is well known that Mikel Arteta loves Dusan Vlahovic. Arsenal worked to bring the Serbian international to the Emirates in 2022, but it ended up in Turin at Juventus.
With 53 goals in 124 games in the Juve shirt, Vlahovic has not quite brought out the potential he showed at Fiorentina. According to Footballtransfers, “sources close to it” report that negotiations between Juventus and the 24-year-old over an extension have stalled. The weekly wage Juventus agreed to stop the Premier League clubs at around €420,000 is causing financial headaches for Juve’s management.
According to Footballtransfer, Arsenal will have an opportunity to sign Vlahovic in January for around €55 million.
Arsenal traditionally hold back on the big spending in the winter window, but with Saka out in April and Vlahovic’s availability now, the Serbian striker could be a necessary game-changer for Arsenal in the second part of the season.
