Arsenal is willing to make a big bid for “world-class” striker

Arsenal is now willing to spend a lot of time winning the “world-class” striker, with manager Mikel Arteta being a fan, according to a report.

Arsenal’s season definition PSG conflict

The Gunners lack in pursuit of Premier League titles and are now increasingly likely to not even be second after a 2-1 win against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

But if they can overturn a single goal deficit and beat Paris Saint-Germain to advance to the Champions League final on Wednesday night, Mikel Arteta’s side still has the chance to have an outdoor season for history books.

However, it will be a tough task for North Londoners and there is a feeling that if they are going to have a more successful 2025-26 campaign, a new striker may be needed and many potential goals have been identified.

One player on the shortlist is Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, whose team is believed to be very keen on the Serbians and now has a new transfer pursuit update.

According to a Spanish report, Arsenal are now willing to win the game for Vlahovic, who can leave Juventus for about €50 million this summer, which is €60 million (£43 million-£51 million) this summer, and the Gunners can easily “afford”.

Ateta is a fan of the striker, the Spaniard’s belief can help his team compete for major honors, and the fact that Juventus is willing to make a sale means it may not be difficult to close the deal.

Serie A will listen to the striker’s offer, who are currently earning as much as £364,000 per week, suggesting wage demand may be a potential stumbling block.

Why “world-class” Vlahovic may not be the answer

Apparently, Arsenal plans to attract a perimeter striker this summer, and there are some signs that Vlahovic could be a quality addition and was praised by journalist Siavoush Fallahi as “world class” due to his performance in Italy.

However, the Belgrade-born striker hasn’t allowed the world to play this season, winning just nine goals in 26 Serie A outings and failing to score in his last six games.

While asking for £51 million is reasonable, the 25-year-old salary requirement could be another issue, and Arsenal may take action for a better-performing striker this season.

Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres is an interesting option, scoring 52 goals in 49 games this semester, despite the concerns he failed to confirm this fact in the major leagues, so there is no easy solution for a search for Arsenal’s forward.
