Former player: Vlahovic can score all kinds of goals will be the perfect pivot point for the Gunners 4-2-3-1

According to Sky Sports, Fiorentina striker Vlahović is the red man in the January transfer window, and Arsenal is rumored to be among the Serb's suitors. In The Transfer Talk podcast, Sky Sports commentator and former Tottenham player Terry Gibson analyzes the fit between Arteta's tactics and Vlahović's technical characteristics, and believes that this is also related to captain Pierre Aubameyang's future.

Terry Gibson believes Vlahović will be the "perfect fit" for Arsenal. He said: "It doesn't surprise me that Arsenal will be interested in players who play in this way of playing – they play 4-2-3-1 and need a fulcrum, a player who can perform in the front. If you can bring in Vlahović, you can get a lot: he has speed, he is mobile, he is very, very strong. He's over six feet tall, can score all sorts of goals and has good possession of the ball – it's really important to have that kind of person in the way Arsenal want to play. ”

"Arsenal are now starting Lacazette, but they are two completely different kinds of players. So, if you want to control the ball on the pitch, if you want your striker to be able to hold the ball, then Vlahovic will play his role. It will also help players like Smith Rowe and Odegaard integrate into the game and keep the ball in the offensive half longer. ”

'He's a left-footer but scores all sorts of goals – he can go in front of goal and pick up leaks, he doesn't mind a long shot from outside the box, or as a finisher who receives a cross from a teammate.

"He's behaving very similarly to Haaland – both are tall, strong, strong, fast strikers. As long as they can get a chance in front of the door, it is fatal. If Arsenal can do that, it will be an excellent signing. ”

"He's only 21 years old and very similar to another Serbian striker, Jovic who went through a similar phase. Jovic scored a whole bunch of goals that year and Then Real Madrid bought him, but he didn't get playing time and he didn't succeed, so I think, like any high transfer, bringing him in was a gamble to some extent, but at the age of 21 he seems to have shown a lot. ”
