Arsenal is reportedly gearing up for an ambitious January transfer move for Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus’ highly-rated striker who has been a persistent thorn in Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Serbian forward, valued at €70 million, is seen as the perfect candidate to bolster Arsenal’s attacking options as they aim to mount a serious title challenge.
Mikel Arteta has made it clear that he intends to strengthen his squad in January, and Vlahovic’s name has emerged as a top priority.

The 24-year-old has been in scintillating form for Juventus, showcasing his ability to perform in crucial matches, including a stunning performance that helped the Italian giants overcome Manchester City in the Champions League.
The Gunners have been one of the most exciting teams to watch this season, often dominating games with their fluid attacking style.
However, their inability to consistently finish chances has been a glaring issue. With Gabriel Jesus struggling for form and Eddie Nketiah yet to prove himself as a reliable goal-scorer, Arsenal’s need for a top-tier striker is evident. Vlahovic, with his proven track record in front of goal, could be the solution.
Arteta is acutely aware that closing the gap on Arne Slot’s high-flying Liverpool will require a consistent goal-scorer who can thrive under pressure.
Securing a player of his caliber would underline the club’s ambitions and signal their determination to compete at the highest level.
