According to transfer expert Di Marzio, Arsenal have decided to make a big reinforcement in the winter window, they have locked their attention on a young player, he is the Florentine striker Vlahović, who has performed very well this season, the 21-year-old Vlahovic is a young talent who has emerged in Serie A in recent years, so far this season he has made 11 league appearances, handed over a report card of 8 goals and 1 assist, tied for second with Simeone Jr. in the Serie A top scorer list. The gap between the nine goals of the veteran Inmobile in front of him is small. In addition, he also scored two goals in the 1 Coppa Italia game and 10 goals in 12 games, which has attracted him a lot of attention from the giants.
Arsenal have made initial contact with him, and it has been revealed that the Gunners are even willing to bring him to London for a high price of 80 million euros, which has surprised Arsenal fans and surprised fans of many other teams. Although the price of 80 million euros is somewhat exaggerated, this is because Arsenal has invested less in the past few years, but on the other hand, it is relatively understandable, Arsenal's current team building ideas seem to have changed to some extent, and from the summer window this year, they have invested 120 million euros to show that Kroenke does not seem to be as stingy as before.
And the young striker is also more suitable for the Gunners' current team planning, Arteta hopes that the team's lineup is younger, 22-year-old Odegaard, 21-year-old Smith Rowe and 20-year-old Saka are all young main players under Arteta, if you can successfully introduce the 190cm tall 21-year-old young forward, both to strengthen the current team's weaker forward, but also to prepare for the future revival, from all angles, the introduction of him is a very good deal, Just a transfer fee of 80 million euros is not a small pressure for Arsenal. In fact, Vlahović has already played brilliantly before this season, 19-year-old Vlahović in the 19-20 season has become the main rotation player of Fiorentina, last season, he has been firmly in the main position of Fiorentina, for the Purple Lily in 38 games, a total of 21 goals, which is a very scary statistic for the then 20-year-old youngster.
Arsenal fans don't have to worry about his strength at all, his tall height combined with good foot skills can fit arsenal's squad very well, and the ability to play in the middle can also allow Arteta to make more tactical adjustments. But even if Arsenal can come up with the rumored 80 million euros, there is still a lot of resistance to successfully bringing in this potential striker. The first is Vlahovic's personal will, his contract with the Purple Lily will not end until the summer of 2023, and he has made it clear that he will not renew his contract with the team, the weak fiorentina can not meet his pursuit of the title, Vlahovic prefers to join a suitable giant in the winter window or next summer window, Arsenal has enough attraction for him There are still doubts.
On the other hand, Arsenal face fierce competition. In addition to Arsenal, Juve, Atletico and Manchester City all want to bring him in, among which serie A banja Juventus is very interested in him, and the old woman wants to chase the popular fried chicken in the winter window for a transfer fee of around 5500 euros plus a player. The offers of Juve and Arsenal are also more in line with the requirements of The Fiorentina side, and they have made it clear that they will sell the Serbian striker for more than 60 million euros. For Vlahović, he needs to make a careful decision, whether to stay in Serie A or play in the Premier League, but no matter how he chooses, I believe he can get a good treatment, and his future potential seems to be very worth looking forward to. And if Arsenal can successfully sign this excellent youngster, it will be a good thing for their revival, and I believe that the competition for Vlahović will be very fierce in this winter window or next summer window.
