As Arsenal continues to push for success, the addition of the Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic could be the final piece of the puzzle. Here are five reasons why the Serbian forward would be the perfect signing for the Gunners:
Proven Goal-Scoring Record
Vlahovic has demonstrated his clinical finishing ability, netting 42 goals in 95 Serie A games for Juventus. His almost one-in-two strike rate would provide a significant boost to Arsenal’s attack, which has seen a decrease in goals per match compared to last season.
Ideal Age and Potential
At 25 years old, Vlahovic is entering his prime years as a striker. He has already shown immense potential and still has room for growth, making him a valuable long-term investment for Arsenal’s future.
Affordable Transfer Fee
With Vlahovic’s contract set to expire in 2026, Juventus may be willing to sell him for a reasonable price to avoid losing him on a free transfer. Reports suggest he could be available for as little as £50 million, which represents excellent value in today’s market.
Tactical Fit
While some may argue that Vlahovic doesn’t fit Arsenal’s style of play, his recent performances suggest otherwise. His improved link-up play and ability to hold up the ball could complement Arsenal’s attacking midfielders and wingers perfectly.
Competition and Depth
The addition of Vlahovic would provide much-needed competition for Kai Havertz and offer depth in the striker position, especially considering Gabriel Jesus’s recent injury struggles. This competition could drive both players to new heights and give manager Mikel Arteta more tactical flexibility.
As Arsenal continues to monitor Vlahovic’s situation at Juventus, the potential for a summer move grows stronger. With his contract negotiations stalling and Juventus potentially looking to cash in, the time may be right for Arsenal to secure the services of one of Europe’s most promising strikers.
The Gunners have shown “concrete interest” in Vlahovic, and with good reason. His addition could be the catalyst that propels Arsenal to the next level in their quest for domestic and European success. As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on whether Arsenal can seal the deal for this talented Serbian forward.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Vlahovic doesn’t fit Arsenal’s style of play. That is a fact. Arsenal must move on and acquire better centre forward players such as Benjamin Sesko, Jonathan David and Darwin Nunes. To get better results next season, these players should come to the Emirates before the commencement of Arsenal’s pre-season tour.
What is this obsession with Sesko? I don’t see anything special and his scoring rate is no better than Kai’s an he’s playing in Germany!! Vlahovic is a great player and would be great for this team.
your comment was going well until you mentioned Nunes !!
Gyokeres
Isak
Osimhen
These are my top 3 options.
The latest report says he is available for €33m.
Isak may be too expensive and might prefer Liverpool
Gyokeres or Osimhen.
I prefer Osimhen though. He’s more pro en and will be easier to sign
We aren’t going to get Gyokeres or Isak. We might have a chance with Osimhen but I like Vlahovic more.
Why aren’t we going to get Gyokeres?
He has a release clause of 83m pounds.
There is no practical reason why we can’t, it is just my assumption that we won’t. Declan Rice was a bit of a one-off in my opinion, because I will always back these owners, and whoever they employ as manager, to go for the cheapest option available. This is why I expect us to get Jonathan David, and I would be fine with that, he’s a good player. At a push we might get Osimhen on loan for a year with an option to buy, but I hope we go for Vlahovic. He’s a quality player and I think he will elevate them team immensely.
Rather than put all our eggs in one basket there could well be a case for us recruiting 2 central strikers with the likes of Jonathan David being acquired for decent value given that he is out of contract at the end of the season.He certainly looked good against Liverpool in the Champions League match a couple of months ago and his all round ability and pace would strengthen our options up front.
Buy 2 strikers? Heresy!
I’ll pick Jonathan Davis as a permanent replacement for Gabriel Jesus and get either Viktor Gyokeres or Dusan Vlahovic.
Sesko would be a better gamble since he’s younger, but Vlahovic will be much cheaper due to his expiring contract
And Sesko is yet to prove he can be an elite goal scorer. He can’t even do it in Germany with a top team, so I am not convinced he is a lord and saviour Arteta seems to think he is. I’d far prefer Vlahovic, who is the ideal age and has proven pedigree for a top team in a top league. Good player.
I think if we added him and Jonathan David on a free, keep hold of Jesus and Martinelli but let Trossard go, we would be set up perfectly for the future.
Vlahovic.
Trossard. Jonathan. Saka.
Rice. Zubimendi.
Timber. Gabriel. Saliba. White.
Raya.
What is this? No team with aspirations of winning the Premier League has Trossard as first choice in any position. And are you referring to Jonathan David? Is he going to replace Odegaard in your line-up? He’s a striker and part-time winger. This is awful.
And 50 reasons why Dusan Vhlaovic is not the “perfect fit for Arsenal”
1. He rejected them when they really wanted him.
2. He is not even the no. 1 striker for Juventus. Loanee Kolo Muani who Arsenal do not rate is benching him
Why would he want to join Arsenal, a club he categorically rejected for Juventus? And how has he fared at Juventus to show he is the striker Arsenal needs to take them to the next level?
I don’t think we can judge him so much based on a decision he made to join Juventus 3 odd years ago.
