Arsenal is reportedly gearing up for a January bid for Dusan Vlahovic, the €70 million-rated striker who has proven to be a challenging opponent for Pep Guardiola.

 

According to exclusive sources, Arsenal is preparing to pursue a €70 million-rated forward in January, a player who has been a thorn in Pep Guardiola’s side.

 

Mikel Arteta appears to be actively seeking a new forward and is keen on acquiring the 24-year-old Juventus player during the upcoming transfer window.

 

Sources from CaughtOffside suggest that Arteta aims to make a significant addition to bolster Arsenal’s performance in the latter half of the 2024/25 season.

 

The Gunners are particularly interested in Vlahovic, as Arteta believes he would be an ideal fit for the current style of play.

 

While Arsenal’s attacking play is often exciting, they frequently struggle to convert chances into goals, highlighting the need for a prolific striker.

 

Securing a player with Vlahovic’s goal-scoring ability could significantly enhance Arsenal’s prospects for silverware this season.

 

Currently, they trail Premier League leaders Liverpool by six points, although the Reds have a game in hand and are maintaining a strong form.

 

Catching up to Arne Slot’s team will require a tremendous effort, but with the right momentum, anything is possible.

 

Arteta might remind his squad of Newcastle’s historic collapse in the 1990s when they were once 11 points ahead of Manchester United.

 

However, the Gunners may face stiff competition in January, as Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City are all keeping an eye on Vlahovic’s situation.

 

Guardiola has witnessed firsthand the impact Vlahovic can have, especially after his performance helped Juventus defeat City in the Champions League recently.

 

While Juventus is keen to retain the striker, whose contract extends until 2026, they may consider a sale if a new contract cannot be negotiated promptly.

 

The transfer fee in January is expected to be approximately €70 million.
