Arsenal want January deal for Dusan Vlahovic?

Arsenal are prepared to meet Fiorentina's asking price for Dusan Vlahovic during the January transfer window, Gianluca Di Marzio claims.

The 21-year-old bagged 21 goals in the Italian top-flight last term, and has continued the bright form this season, netting eight times.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have been heavily linked with his services, but it appears that the Gunners have entered the pursuit. 

Vlahovic recently snubbed a new contract at Fiorentina. The Florence outfit are now open to selling him with his deal expiring in June 2023. 

The Gunners have verbally agreed to meet Vlahovic's €80m price tag in January, but they still need to convince the striker to join them. 

Vlahovic is likely to assess all options. Juventus are also keeping a close eye on the proceedings as they look for a new marksman. 

The Bianconeri failed to land a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, and they are keen to fill the void at the turn of the year.
