Dusan Vlahovic is one striker Mikel Arteta has refused to give up on, even though the Serbian snubbed his side to move to Juventus a year ago.
He was one of the best strikers in Europe at Fiorentina and remains highly-regarded.
However, his time at Juve has not gone to plan and he could be on the move again in the summer.
Juve might have to offload him at the end of the campaign if they do not secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
Transfer insider Pete O’Rourke has given an update on his future and says the striker will likely be interested in an Arsenal move now.
He tells Give Me Sport:
“Vlahovic was a big target for Arsenal prior to his move to Juventus.
“They’ve been keeping tabs on his situation and a No9 is a position that Arteta would like to strengthen for next season as well.
“I’m sure Vlahovic would definitely be interested in a move to Arsenal, especially if they win the Premier League and are playing in the Champions League next season as well.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Vlahovic has been one of the finest attackers in Europe and, sadly, he is struggling at Juve now.
Because of their style of play, it is not very surprising and we could convince him to make the move away in the summer to play under an exciting manager.

Every top team needs a top striker and the Serbian is right up there with some of the best.
It is going to be very interesting with this new development, as they are still fans bruised by his reported snubbing of Arsenal.
Agree
We have to go for Vlahovic now that we are heading to Champions league and we need a more clinical striker, players snubbing clubs is just normal in football.
We will be linked with so many players, he made his bed, let him lie in it, Arteta and Edu will have plans who they want this Summer to improve the team and challenge for the PL and CL next season
I tend to agree
Am in full agreement
Yes. While we welcome him to join us, we must not forget he has chosen to ignore us the last time. We will let him taste his own medicine. :p Take it or leave it! There will be plenty of top class strikers waiting at our wing now that we are top of EPL and also making smooth progress back into the Championship!
This might be last chance joining us if he’s available at a cut price. Personally he’s not doing that well. There’s alot of players Arsenal can look at and more players wanted to JOIN ARSENAL NOW. Cos we are going to make history for the next few years to come.
Stupid guy, if he had joined then the EPL will be wrapped. Let him impress his best suitor then. Arsenal has better talent
I do agree and support your view. why pick someone who already snub the club. At the first place he has shown that he is not interested in Arsenal. Why this time when the team is ready to play in the CL.. Just don’t come in (free ride) when the team sweat it out during the season. All he wanted is the CL. Should be ashamed of himself.
We don’t need Vlahovic any more, let him and Juventus enjoy themselves together. He can’t now reap from where and what he didn’t sow.
Good for him but we don’t want him anymore. Had his chance, blew it now he can watch from his sofa and see us return to our former glory. Don’t need a typical striker who will clogs the penalty area and affect our linkup play and interchanging forward players. Plus my price tag will be ridiculous.
Completely wrong we need more proven goalscrorers , Erling Haaland has been in scincillating form and is one of the major reason man city is giving us a run for our money .. Putting emotional sentiments aside we need a No9 to bag in the goals because we boast an exceptional depth in goal creators .
vlahovic will be a great signing for arsenal,having him with jesus will make our front more stronger even if we lose one to injury we can have a reliable striker to rely on instead of our young nketiah that we overstress to injury after jesus absence.arsenal should get vlahovic now or never….
But he snabed us thinking we are not good enough to make it to UEFA now he is starting to see what he failed to see when we gave him the chance. We even have many strikers we can look to and buy.
Can’t Arteta go for players like Mbappe?
Just thinking aloud
Players with ego are hard to work with
I will prefer Oshimhen
That’s like wishing to live in Buckingham palace I highly doubt the Kroenke family has that silly money to splash the cash .
Arsenal should not be interested in players who have arrogantly rejected our club and are now suddenly interested again. We want players with a genuine, heartfelt interest in playing for Arsenal. Therefore, no thanks to Vlahovic.
I find it seriously silly and rather immature for so many of our fans to turn against a highly effective striker like Vlahovic for his supposed “heinous crime” of once rejecting our club.
These unthinking fans appear to labour under the daft impression that players from far flung countries SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOVE AND RESPECT OUR CLUB.
Such fans need to grow up and fast and adopt REALITY.
Only realistic and sensible thinking will allow such top class players to both come to us AND to feel wanted and at home once here.
This childish vendetta against a top class player who once chose to go somewhere else instead, is the foolish act of CHILDISH fans and will cut NO ice with MA and Edu, IF they are interested in buying Vlahovic, as I HOPE THEY ARE.
Couldn’t of said it better to begrudge someone for having made a personal career choice is a simplistic observation of fanatics …. We need results and to be able to draw the best talent out there to upgrade our team .. This can only be achieved with wise decisions using rational and exceptional judgement . Arsenal as a team this season has built it’s brand by the fundamentals aforementioned above and playing firebrand football this implies that with this kind of vision it will be not too long we attract the best talent in the world kudos to Edu and Arteta.
