The Arsenal manager is eager to enhance the team’s scoring prowess in the upcoming January transfer window. Arteta believes that Arsenal lacks sufficient goal-scoring options, a concern as they aim for success in the Premier League and Champions League. Presently, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah are the only natural strikers at his disposal.
While Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard have deputized as center-forwards for Arsenal this season, Football Transfers reported that securing a deal with Juventus for Vlahovic would greatly please Arteta, as the striker remains his primary target.
Despite Vlahovic opting for Juventus over Arsenal in January 2022, Arteta still admires the potential he could bring to the team. The manager had wanted Arsenal to secure Vlahovic’s transfer from Fiorentina before the player joined Juventus for a fee of £58.5m, potentially rising to £66.5m. Vlahovic has since recorded 28 goals in 75 games.
While Vlahovic has scored five goals in 12 games this season, his recent form in Serie A shows just one goal in his last eight appearances. Furthermore, the 23-year-old appears uninterested in a move, potentially disrupting Arteta’s plans. Reports from 90min suggest Arsenal’s interest, but Vlahovic is in discussions regarding a new contract with Juventus.
Juventus, aiming to fend off interest from Arsenal, secured Vlahovic until June 2026, and now seek to extend his contract further, potentially until June 2028. Vlahovic himself acknowledges ongoing talks between his agent and Juventus, expressing contentment with living in Turin.
