Arsenal are once again being linked with a move for striker Dusan Vlahović, and could make a move for him in January.
They wanted to sign the Serbian when he was a Fiorentina player, but, instead he opted to remain in Serie A and signed for Juventus.
He has failed to live up to expectations in Turin, managing just 19 goals in 45 Serie A appearances, although he has made a strong start to the current campaign, finding the net twice in three games so far.
However, with Juventus not in Europe this season, and struggling financially, they would not be averse to selling him.
It is well known that Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of the 23 year old, and that he offers a different, more physical alternative to some of the other attacking options that he has at his disposal currently.
There have also been reports in the past that he could potentially be a target for Chelsea as well.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
