Arsenal gears up for a dynamic summer transfer window as Arteta eyes bargain striker Dusan Vlahovic amid contract turmoil at Juventus.
Arsenal have intensified their pursuit of Serbia ace Dusan Vlahovic. Arteta moves decisively after stalled contract talks at Juventus. Italian source Tutto Juve confirms the Gunners have drawn up an opening proposal worth €30 million (£25m / $32.4m).
Injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus exposed a glaring gap in Arsenal’s frontline. Arteta demands a new centre-forward to lead the attack. The club scours both the Premier League and European markets for a lethal goalscorer.
Juventus conducted several rounds of contract talks to extend Vlahovic’s deal beyond June 2026. Negotiations broke down, and Juventus now risk losing the 25-year-old for free next year. The Italian giants remain firm on their stance.

Arsenal missed out on Vlahovic in January 2022 but now lead the race to secure him. The Gunners may need to submit a second, improved bid before sealing the deal. Meanwhile, Aston Villa also pursue the talented forward.
Dusan Vlahovic boasts 107 career goals in 269 appearances. He has netted 14 goals and provided 2 assists in 33 games for Juventus this season. His powerful play and effective link-up skills make him a formidable finisher.
Arsenal also monitor Benjamin Sesko, Alexander Isak, and Ollie Watkins. Arteta favors Isak as his dream signing, though Newcastle United demands £120 million for his exit. The club remains committed to strengthening its frontline without overspending.
Recent developments boost Arsenal’s transfer ambitions. Journalist Steve Kay noted that Sesko prefers a role under Arteta, while Watkins dreams of representing the Gunners before retiring. TEAMtalk insider Ben Jacobs reveals that Arteta highly values Gabriel Martinelli, and the club may offer him a new contract amid exit rumors.
