It’s not over. Not yet.
Arsenal are making a final push before the window slams shut. With Gabriel Jesus ruled out for the season, the Gunners’ need for a striker has grown urgent.
And now, Dusan Vlahovic—once a distant dream—is back in focus according to Football Transfers.
They’ve already tried Watkins. A £60 million bid. Rejected, according to a tweet by Fabrizio Romano.
They chased Mathys Tel, but its being widely reported that they lost him to Tottenham.
Now, with hours left on the clock, Arsenal may circle back to the Serbian they once craved.
Vlahovic, now 25, sits behind Randal Kolo Muani in Juventus’ plans. He’s not thriving. But the talent never left.
He’s available. Maybe not openly, but quietly—if the price is right.
His Juventus contract runs until 2026, but uncertainty grows. Arsenal, who tried to sign him in 2022 while he lit up Serie A with Fiorentina, were rejected then. Vlahovic chose Turin. It didn’t go as planned.
He has struggled for rhythm, goals, and a consistent place. Yet this moment—post-injury, post-rejection—might finally align both player and club.
Arteta is in a race, not just for silverware but for options.
Havertz lacks consistency. Nketiah lacks trust. Jesus lacks fitness. And Arsenal? They lack time.
Vlahovic may not solve everything. But he brings size, strength, and a striker’s instinct.
If Juventus agree to negotiate—and the fee hovers near £50 million according to Transfermarkt —Arsenal might yet pull off a dramatic deadline twist.
One final gamble.
