Arsenal are reportedly reigniting their pursuit of Juventus forward Dušan Vlahović ahead of the winter transfer deadline, according to Tuttosport.
The Gunners have struggled for consistent firepower in recent weeks, and while they managed a 2-1 win over Tottenham midweek, the match highlighted their inefficiency in front of goal. With Gabriel Jesus ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a serious knee injury, Arsenal are in urgent need of a reliable striker.
Tutttosport reports that Arsenal’s interest in Vlahović is genuine and that a formal approach could be made soon. Adding to the speculation, the Serbian forward was recently seen in Turin with his agent—potentially signaling discussions about his future.
Juventus, for their part, are open to letting the 24-year-old leave if they receive a significant offer, reportedly valuing him at around €65million. However, Arsenal are cautious of running afoul of financial regulations and may propose a loan deal with an option to buy in the summer.
Vlahović, who has just 18 months remaining on his contract, could also be considering a fresh start—especially with added competition at Juve following Randal Kolo Muani’s arrival.
With Bukayo Saka also sidelined and Kai Havertz struggling for form, Arsenal may view Vlahović as the short-term and long-term solution to strengthen their attacking line as they push for silverware.
