Arsenal suffer huge transfer blow as Juventus ‘agree £63m Dusan Vlahovic deal with Fiorentina’ with striker keen on move

JUVENTUS are set to sign Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic in a huge transfer blow to Arsenal, according to reports.

Vlahovic is Arsenal's top transfer target but he looks poised to stay in Serie A.

Juventus have had a £63million bid accepted by Fiorentina and are now just finalising terms with Vlahovic, according to Sky in and transfer guru.

So Arsenal look set to miss out on a key transfer target to Juventus - and not for the first time this season.

Last summer Mikel Arteta was keen on signing Euro 2020 star Manuel Locatelli before the Italian opted for a move to Turin in a £30m deal.

Now Arteta and sporting director Edu will have to seek out other striker targets.

Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin is rumoured to be a name on their shortlist.

Arsenal also like the look of Real Sociedad star Alexander Isak - another who impressed at the Euros.

But with the futures of all three Arsenal strikers Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah and Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeng in doubt, it is clear the Gunners need reinforcements.

Aubameyang is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain but even the cash-rich French outfit may be unwilling to match the £350,000 salary he is paid by Arsenal.

Arteta has this week flown to the US to see club owner Stan Kroenke in a bid to get backing for reinforcements.
