Arsenal set to win race for 23 y/o Real Madrid target, £50m could seal major transfer
According to a report by The Sun, Arsenal appears to be on track to secure the signing of Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the upcoming January transfer window.
Arsenal was previously expected to acquire Vlahovic in the last winter transfer period but lost out to Juventus.
This season, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah have been leading Arsenal’s attack, with Jesus facing injury issues and Nketiah delivering standout performances intermittently.
TuttoJuve has mentioned Real Madrid’s interest in the 23-year-old striker as they seek a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema.
Juventus is said to be seeking around £50 million for Vlahovic, and they hope the reported competition between Madrid and Arsenal will maintain a high price tag for the player.
Busy transfer window
Accumulating 27 points in 12 games, merely one point shy of the leaders, Manchester City, Arsenal finds themselves once again actively pursuing the League title after a disappointing miss last season.
In an effort to strengthen the squad this season, Mikel Arteta secured notable signings such as Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, David Raya, and Jurrien Timber.
However, a notable concern for the Gunners this season lies in the central forward position, where Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah lack the potency needed to mount a serious title challenge.
Looking ahead to the January transfer window, Arteta is already planning to address this gap by aiming to acquire a formidable center forward, with Dusan Vlahovic fitting the desired mold.
As the winner of the Serie A Golden Boot, the Serbian international has demonstrated his prowess as a prolific goal-scorer, earning recognition as one of the premier center forwards in Europe.
Considering Arsenal’s attacking style of play and their ability to create numerous scoring opportunities, Vlahovic is anticipated to make a significant impact, adding a substantial goal-scoring threat to the team.
