Arsenal in contact with Dusan Vlahovic's agent

Arsenal have made contact with the representative of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic regarding a winter transfer, according to Calciomercato.

The Gunners are desperate to bolster the striking department and they have been linked with several names over the past couple of weeks.

Vlahovic is one of those and it is claimed that the Gunners have made first contact with his agent to find out about his availability.

Juventus are set to sign Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain and this could reduce the playing time of Vlahovic up front.

With under 18 months left on his contract, the Bianconeri are said to be open to sanctioning his sale if they receive at least £42 million.

Arsenal have been following the striker since his time at Fiorentina and it remains to be seen whether they meet the reported valuation.

The Gunners could prefer a loan deal with an option to buy to find out whether the striker can adapt to the Premier League's intensity.
