Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly “open” to leaving Juventus in January amid reports linking the forward with a move to the Premier League.
The Gunners were first linked with the attacker ahead of the January transfer window earlier this year.
This followed his sensational form for Serie A side Fiorentina. He netted 17 league goals in 21 outings for them in 2021/22.
Arsenal tried hard to sign him but they ultimately missed out as Juventus secured his services shortly before the end of the winter window.

“So, more important than the actual sporting sanctions is actually just the fact that it’s not thought that Vlahovic is particularly happy under Max Allegri. And because of that, I think that he is open to a move and Juventus are, at the same time, quite prepared to entertain offers and see what happens.”
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta recently told reporters that they “can get a striker” in January if the right opportunity arises.
“Can we afford not getting the player that we want? That is my question.
“We can afford to get a striker for sure if we want one, I don’t know if he plays in League Two, League Five, Spain, Portugal or…
