Arsenal: 7 rumoured transfer targets in January window

7. Dusan Vlahovic – Fiorentina

The unescapable.

Right, so what’s the lowdown on this one?

• Going to be very expensive
• Arsenal only club willing to pay the money this month
• Arteta’s #1 target
• Player not fully convinced
• Agent demands at £15m
• Fiorentina willing to make sale

Everything is now in the player and his agent’s hands, which is always concerning, although if you believe Arsenal’s Croatian Supporters’ Club (yes, really) then tensions between Dusan Vlahovic and his representatives are at breaking point and the striker is in fact keen on moving to north London.

Oh transfer window, never change.

While that needs a wagon load of salt with it, every reliable source about is running with Arsenal’s determination to get this deal over the line. They’ll pay the money, and £58m is a fair price if he’s going to be the starting centre-forward for years to come – and will eventually be bought by PSG for £300m, of course.

He is the man. He is the target.
