Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 24-year-old Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic from Serie A club Juventus.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Arsenal and Manchester United have made a last-gasp approach to sign Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian forward, who cost Juventus £67 million, has been linked with a move away from the Serie A club, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League can be quite exciting for him. Arsenal and Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to showcase qualities at a higher level.
Arsenal have a formidable squad, and they are pushing for the Premier League title. The Gunners are doing well in the UEFA Champions League as well. Vlahovic might feel that he can win major trophies with them if he joins the North London club this season. Arsenal are in desperate need of a quality striker, and the 24-year-old could transform them in the final third.
Gabriel Jesus has struggled to find the back of the net consistently and he is sidelined with an injury. Kai Havertz is not a prolific goalscorer either. Signing a reliable finisher should be a top priority for Arsenal. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done, especially after possibly ruling out a move for Mathys Tel.
Manchester United need a quality striker
Manchester United are in a similar situation, and they need a reliable centre forward. Summer signing Joshua Zirkzee is still getting two grips with English football, and Manchester United need someone who can support him in the final third. The Serb has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football, and he could improve them going forward.
It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can negotiate a reasonable deal with the Juventus. The Serie A outfit will look to recoup a substantial amount of money for the player, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal and Manchester United are prepared to pay up.
The striker has shown his quality in Italy over the years, and he will look to take up a new challenge at this stage of his career. The opportunity to play in the Premier League can be quite exciting, and Vlahovic will look to hit the ground if the move goes through.
