Arsenal recognises the need for a prolific goalscorer like Erling Haaland to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Despite having the best goal difference in the Premier League this season, Arsenal believes they could achieve even more with a top striker like the Norwegian.
Identifying Dusan Vlahovic as the next leading goalscorer for their team, Arsenal has been monitoring him since his days at Fiorentina and remains keen on acquiring the Serbian striker.
Currently playing for Juventus in Serie A, Vlahovic has been one of their key players since joining the club. This season, he has been in excellent form, enjoying his best spell at the Italian club.
As reported by Football Italia, there is a possibility that Vlahovic could be sold, and Arsenal is eager to add him to their squad.
The Gunners hope that Vlahovic can step up and become their prolific goalscorer, much like Haaland is for Manchester City.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Vlahovic has been one of the finest strikers in the top European leagues this season, and he could do a good job for us.
However, he might need some time to get used to how we play because he is coming from a different competition.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
I believe Vhalovic, a replacement like for like for Thomas Partey & LB will do the trick for next season.
You may well have your wish because it looks like those are exactly the positions Arsenal are looking to fill. Plus a goalkeeper of course, if Ramsdale leaves; though I’d love him to stay.
Have long said this kid is like a poor man Haaland.
He will be a goal scoring machine from day
I find Haaland seems to score more when playing against teams that have dfensive issues and are not air tight in the backline. He rarely creates anything by himself for others. Against top defensive lineups such as Arsenal he struggles to even get a good touch. Vlahovich is a bit more balanced than Haaland? He has better technique I think than Haaland and can bring others into play better which has become the hallmark of current Arsenal team. I would probably the only one who wouldn’t want Haaland type striker in the team. I want a bit more balanced option. Vlahovich does tick that box for me. Vlahovich work better with a second striker or a fast runner who can feed off him or vice versa. Vlahovich together with Havertz can be a hell of a combo. Also Isak is a good option but he maybe out of reach next season.
That’s a very interesting observation as you may very well have a point.
REALLY?
Surely we can find someone better!!!
Oh, we want him to be our Haarland.
But after seeing him in Serie A, I assume it is Roy Keane’s lower league Haarland we are after
Vlahovic profiles very similarly to Haaland, both good and bad.
He can destroy lower table teams and will go missing against top half teams just like Haaland.
Victor Boniface is what we need to win trophies, he’s like a Haaland, Kane and Jesus combined. Goal scoring machine and a dribbly boy.
Truely a special player and apparently an Arsenal fan. I really hope we don’t miss out on him
If we got Boniface, that would trump all other striker options available. But I’m doubtful if we can acquire him.
Just go for Osimhen, that’s all!
Vlahovic reminds me or Morata
in that Morata was forever linked with an Arsenal transfer, Morata flattered decisive, just not a prolific elite goal scorer
Vlahovic, like Toney and Osihmen, also doesn’t offer enough else in his game, Arteta demands versatility and out of possession work rate, just don’t think any of these names tick enough boxes to fit in our system
and given our most goals scored and least goals conceded status we would be bonkers to change our system to accommodate a ‘striker’ like these to solve a problem we don’t have
don’t see it happening, more likely to be a Sesko or Zirkzee type
