🚨🚨Exclusive: Arsenal eye swoop for €80m-rated Serie A star, with six-man striker shortlist revealed perfect  kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus replacement

Arsenal are interested in Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic

Arsenal are planning a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic next summer as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attack, sources have revealed to TEAMtalk.

The Gunners have set their sights on lifting the Premier League title this term after narrowly missing out to Manchester City in the last two campaigns.

But many have questioned whether Arsenal’s current striker options of Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are prolific enough, compared to City superstar Erling Haaland.

Arsenal were heavily linked with Viktor Gyokeres in the summer but ultimately decided against a big-money move for the former Coventry City man, although they remain keen on him.

However, TEAMtalk sources say Vlahovic is on Arsenal’s ‘list of targets’ too and there is a good chance that he’ll be on the move next summer.

The North London club tracked Vlahovic closely in January but Juventus had no intention of allowing him to leave the club at the time.

Vlahovic’s contract is set to expire in 2026 and negotiations with Juventus over an extension are currently at a standstill. Therefore, they could be forced into selling him next summer, but they’ll still demand a big fee.

They also believe that Vlahovic’s situation will evolve like that of Federico Chiesa, who sealed a cut-price move to Liverpool this summer.

Chiesa had just one year remaining on his contract at Juventus and the Turin-based side were forced into selling the talented winger.

sources say that the Gunners are ‘certain’ that they could take advantage of Vlahovic’s situation and sign him for much lower than the €80m (£66.6m; $89m) price tag Juventus set in the summer.
