Following the injury to Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Arteta has had to turn to Eddie Nketiah to help up top, as well as place more pressure on Gabriel Martinelli to perform consistently.
This worked well in the first game back against West Ham, but there remains a gap in the squad, and the transfer rumour mill continues to suggest the Gunners are interested in Dusan Vlahovic.
The latest on this comes from Corriere dello Sport, who look at some of the business Juventus could do in the coming months, with January right around the corner.
Arsenal are mentioned when they reach the Serbia international, who is said to be ‘discontented’, since his time at the Turin side hasn’t gone as planned.
He arrived from Fiorentina as the saviour, but injuries and Max Allegri’s tactics haven’t worked in his favour, leaving his agent, Darko Ristic, looking around for a potential solution.
It’s said the representative ‘registers the strong interests’ coming from half of Europe, with clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich allegedly ready to move in the summer.
However, there are clubs in the Premier League, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea named, who are ‘interested even immediately’ to sign Vlahovic.While Juventus are said to want to ‘postpone any discussion at least until the end of the season’, the amount of money on offer could change their mind.
Should someone like Arsenal put an offer ‘exceeding €90m’ on the table, it would be ‘listened to carefully’.
Whether that’s something the Gunners are prepared to do remains to be seen, but it seems like quite a lot of money to be spending midway through the season.
