Arsenal is actively seeking a new striker after Gabriel Jesus suffered an ACL injury during the match against Manchester United. However, despite ongoing links, they have not reached out to Juventus about Dusan Vlahovic, as confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano in an exclusive statement on the GIVEMESPORT’s Market Madness podcast.
Jesus had started to find form recently, scoring multiple goals in the League Cup and Premier League, but his injury leaves Arsenal with only Kai Havertz as their primary striker. To strengthen their attack, they will need to sign a new forward for their Premier League and Champions League campaigns.
Romano clarified that, despite Arsenal’s interest in Vlahovic, no formal approach has been made yet. The player has been admired by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta in the past, especially during his time at Fiorentina. However, no official discussions or negotiations are underway at this time.
Vlahovic has been in strong form for Juventus, scoring 12 goals in 23 appearances across all competitions this season, and has a total of 53 goals in 124 games for the club. With 84 goals in 193 Serie A matches, he could be the ideal player to help Arsenal’s attacking troubles.
