Arsenal are set to make a bold move in the transfer market. The Gunners could sign Dusan Vlahovic for an incredibly low fee. Italian media claim he is the strongest striker in Serie A.
Arsenal urgently need a top-quality striker. Gabriel Jesus faces injury setbacks while Kai Havertz has struggled with his finishing. The club made a futile attempt to sign Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa in January.
Manager Mikel Arteta has named Alexander Isak as his dream target. The Gunners also express interest in RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko. These moves aim to boost Arsenal’s attacking options ahead of the summer window.
Arsenal have kept their eyes on Vlahovic for a long time. They pursued the Serbia international in January 2022 from Fiorentina. However, he moved to Juventus for £66.6 million soon after.

Current reports indicate that Manchester United and Atletico Madrid also show interest in Vlahovic. Italian outlets claim Juventus are willing to sell him for €35 million (£29m / $36.6m). The reported fee makes this striker a bargain in today’s market.
