Arsenal will ‘prioritise’ Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in January rather than bring in a short-term back-up for Bukayo Saka, according to reports.
Transfer expert Rudy Galetti says that the Gunners ‘are prioritizing Dusan Vlahovic as their top January target, with Arteta favoring him over a direct Saka replacement’.
Excuse the US spellings but you get the gist; Arsenal will favour long-time striker target Vlahovic – who has scored 12 goals in 22 games for Juventus this season – ahead of a wing option.
He does detail three names if the Vlahovic deal falls through, with Brentford’s Bryan Mbuemo being joined by Jamie Gittens and Leroy Sane as options.
The Gunners moved with six points of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table with victory over Brentford on Wednesday night, with Gabriel Jesus scoring his third Premier League goal of the season along with Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli.
