Arsenal’s pursuit of a new striker is intensifying as the transfer deadline looms. With Gabriel Jesus sidelined for the rest of the season due to an ACL injury, Mikel Arteta is desperately seeking reinforcements up front to avoid any further blow to their top-four aspirations.
According to Londonnews, One player currently in Arsenal’s sights is Dusan Vlahovic, whose name has been mentioned as a potential signing. The Serbian forward, currently at Juventus, has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time. Arsenal could seize this opportunity to strengthen their attacking options, though Juventus might be reluctant to part ways with the talented forward midway through the season.
Another player reportedly on Arteta’s radar is Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins. However, Villa has rejected an offer for their star striker, making a deal less likely in the short term. Watkins has been in excellent form for Villa, and his ability to play both as a central striker and winger makes him an attractive option for the Gunners.
In addition to these names, Arsenal is also monitoring several other potential targets, including Manfred Ugalde, Viktor Gyokeres, and Jhon Duran. With the clock ticking down on the transfer window, Arteta is working quickly to finalize any potential deals.
Meanwhile, news broke that young talent Ayden Heaven has confirmed his exit from the club, with his future uncertain. The departure of Heaven marks another shift in Arsenal’s youth setup as they look to refine their squad ahead of the final push for a Champions League spot.Tap Here for the Full Story
