The Gunners continue to be linked with the 24-year-old from Juventus, and CaughtOffside sources indicate that Arteta wants to make a splash in the new year to help Arsenal during the second half of the 2024/25 campaign.
Arsenal want Dusan Vlahovic in January
It’s understood that the Spaniard believes that the Serbian hit-man would be the perfect striker for the way in which his team are playing currently.
Indeed, the expansive and sometimes direct football seen by the Gunners is a joy to watch until the final third – when there’s often no one to put the ball in the net.
Having a striker that knows where the goal is will arguably elevate Arsenal’s chances of being in the mix for silverware at the end of the season.
Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus celebrates scoring
Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus celebrates scoring his team’s first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD6 match against Manchester City.
At present they find themselves six points behind Premier League leaders, Liverpool, but the Reds have a game in hand and aren’t dropping too many points.
It will take a monumental effort to catch Arne Slot’s side whilst they’re in such form, but if any team can put a bit of pressure on, you never know what could happen.
Pep Guardiola will have seen up close the damage that Vlahovic can do, after he helped Juve topple City in the Champions League this week.
The Bianconeri want to keep the player, whose contract runs until 2026, however, if a new contract agreement can’t be reached quickly, the club will consider selling him.
The transfer fee in January would therefore be around the €70m mark
