Arsenal have been credited with an interest in signing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic during the winter transfer window, as per Tuttosport.
The Gunners ended a three-match winless streak with a 2-1 Premier League triumph over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday. However, they squandered numerous chances.
Arsenal need a striker and reportedly have a ‘strong interest’ in Dusan Vlahovic.
The Serbian has been a long-term target for the Gunners, and Juventus are open to sanctioning his departure for an ‘important offer’.
Agent Darko Ristic was recently pictured alongside the striker in Turin. This is a ‘possible clue’ that something is happening behind the scenes.
The 24-year-old has been with the Bianconeri for the past three years, but he has yet to replicate his form from his time with Fiorentina.
He has netted 12 times from 23 appearances this season but has had familiar injury concerns.
The striker has missed four games with two muscular injuries, and he is currently on the sidelines.
There is a risk associated with Vlahovic due to his fitness issues. Arsenal should explore a loan deal with an option to purchase.
Vlahovic has missed 12 big chances in the Italian top flight this season, which is slightly more than Kai Havertz (11) in the Premier League.
Arsenal should prioritise a temporary deal for Vlahovic to find out whether he can adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
