The latest Dusan Vlahovic transfer news has revealed that Arsenal are preparing a January bid for the Juventus striker.
Boss Mikel Arteta is keen to add a proven goalscorer to his side as the north Londoners look to get their title push back on track.
After their 1-1 draw with Fulham on Sunday, the Gunners are now two points behind Chelsea and six adrift of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The Reds also have a game in hand which could potentially put Arteta’s men even further behind. The Spaniard will need to act quickly with interest likely to soar for Vlahovic’s services.
Arsenal’s top scorers in the top-flight this season are Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka. Both players have netted five times so far in 2024/25.
In all competitions, Havertz has netted nine times overall. However, the German international is not considered as an out-and-out striker.
🚨 Arsenal are considering a January move to sign 24-year-old striker Dušan Vlahović from Juventus.
