Arsenal Eye £67m Move for “Machine” Striker Vlahovic
Arsenal are reportedly maintaining strong interest in Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as a potential upgrade to their attack. The Serbian international could cost around £67 million according to earlier reports.
While Gabriel Jesus has regained form recently, Vlahovic’s output over the past few seasons has been more impressive. Since joining Juventus, Vlahovic has averaged a goal involvement every 1.90 games compared to Jesus’ average of one every 2.16 games for Arsenal.
At just 23 years old, Vlahovic is also three years younger than Jesus and has missed significantly fewer games due to injury in his career so far. His signing could provide Arsenal with a prolific focal point in attack for many years to come.
Though expensive, pursuing Vlahovic could be worthwhile for Arsenal to ensure continued improvement of their attacking threat. The “machine” striker’s clinical finishing and physical presence up front may be exactly what Arsenal need to take their forward line to the next level.
