Breaking: Arsenal presented with an opportunity to sign £65m 'lightning' attacker - A player Mikel Arteta coveted last summer"

Arsenal has been offered the chance to sign Dusan Vlahovic, the highly-rated Juventus forward, by his agent, according to a report from tuttomercatoweb. Vlahovic, who has also been offered to Bayern Munich, is expected to cost £65 million and is seen as a player Juventus are willing to sell. The 23-year-old is a transfer target that the Gunners keep coming back to in their pursuit to increase the quality of their strikers at the club. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is a big fan of Vlahovic, as reported by Gazzetta Dello Sport. The Gunners tried to sign him last summer but failed to secure his services. Vlahovic has been admired by many, and Micah Richards hailed him as “lightning quick”. He has a proven track record as a prolific striker, having managed 69 goals in Italy for both Juventus and Fiorentina. Arsenal currently has a great striker in Gabriel Jesus, who has 15 goal contributions in the Premier League in his first season. However, he has missed a chunk of the season due to injury, and the club has lacked quality up top in his absence. With Arsenal’s surprising title challenge this campaign and their return to the Champions League for the first time since 2016 next season, the lack of depth in their squad emphasizes the need to strengthen for next season. A signing like Vlahovic would massively improve the squad, given his potential to become a world-class striker over the next few years. The Gunners will undoubtedly face competition from other top clubs in Europe to secure Vlahovic's signature. Still, Arteta will be hoping to persuade him to move to the Emirates Stadium, given his admiration for the forward and the club's ambition to challenge for major honors once again. While Arsenal has been linked with several other strikers in recent months, Vlahovic remains a priority target, and the club's hierarchy will undoubtedly be keen to secure his services ahead of next season. If they manage to do so, it could be a significant step forward for the Gunners and their ambitions of competing at the top level of European football. Send a mess
