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.

Dusan Vlahovic Transfer News Sees Arsenal Step Up Interest
If the latest Dusan Vlahovic transfer news is to be believed, Arsenal will push hard to sign the Serbian striker in the upcoming January transfer window.
Reports suggest that Juventus could be willing to entertain offers of around £53 million. The Gunners have been long-term admirers of the 24-year-old.
If a deal can be manufactured, supporters of the north Londoners will be convinced that the 6’3″ hitman can fire them to Premier League glory.
Vlahovic burst on to the scene with Fiorentina in the 2020/21 season where he netted 21 times in Serie A. Overall for La Viola, Vlahovic scored an impressive 49 goals in 108 appearances.
The Old Lady actually signed Vlahovic in the January window in 2022 for approximately £66 million. Since then, he has scored 50 goals across 118 outings.
Mikel Arteta will be keen to test Juve’s resolve with a bid in the coming weeks. The Spaniard has also been keeping tabs on Newcastle United star Alexander Isak. The Magpies have reportedly placed a £115 million price tag on his head.
On Saturday, the Gunners are back in Premier League action when they take on Everton at the Emirates Stadium. Ahead of the match, the best football betting sites in the UK make the north Londoners the 1/4 match favourites.
