According to journalist Mirko Di Natale, Mikel Arteta really wants Arsenal to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus.

Right now ARSENAL are sitting top of the Premier League and are the only real challengers to Man City for that title – if they are able to keep on winning between now and the end of the season.

Some reports have suggested that Arsenal are set to smash their summer transfer record in a bid to back Arteta in the upcoming transfer window, to add a new striker, midfielder and maybe defender to the side.

One striker they really like is £214,000-per-week striker Vlahovic, as Arteta is reporterdly “attracted” to Vlahovic’s playing style, and would like to add him to the side when the season is up and the transfer window is open.

Di Natale has told TV Play’s Ti Amo Calciomercato that Arsenal are showing a “strong” interest in signing Vlahovic this summer.

“I know that the contacts are positive and there are good chances of a conclusion like for Vlahović, for whom Arsenal are showing strong interest from England,” said the reporter on Vlahobic’s contract situation.

“Juve and Vlahović will have to find an agreement and ensure that both parties are satisfied. If they don’t reach an agreement within the summer window, Vlahović can enter Juve’s transfer window and ensure that he can be one of those exits that Giuntoli has in mind this summer.”

If Arteta gets the backing of the board and Vlahovic is a striker that he wants – then it will be an easy deal to get done as the big man is perfect for the style of play at the Emirates – and Juventus are always ready to cash in for the right money.
