Arsenal have concrete interest in 24yo star, agent spotted with player this week – report | OneFootball

Arsenal have been credited with an interest in signing one of Juventus’ best players 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.

Despite the result, they were unconvincing in the final third. Arsenal were guilty of squandering four big chances to find the net.

It is quite clear that the club need a marquee striker and Tuttosport claim that they 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.

Arsenal should consider initial loan for Vlahovic

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 campaign, 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. We believe 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.

He has a shot-to-goal conversion rate of 13 percent which is far worse than Havertz’s (17 percent).

Arsenal should prioritise a temporary deal for Vlahovic in order to find out whether he can adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
