Vlahovic became hot property last season, when he scored 21 Serie A goals for La Viola.
He has backed it up this term, by notching ten in his first 12 in all competitions.
Arsenal are one of a number of clubs monitoring the 21-year-old's situation.
Despite Vlahovic being about to enter the final 18 months of his contract, Fiorentina will demand £68m for their star man in January.
According to , this asking price hasn't deterred the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta's side are willing to make a bid for the 6ft 3in ace.
But he will take some convincing.
The report goes on to reveal that Vlahovic and his representatives aren't convinced that a move to Arsenal will best serve him.
And they reckon that by waiting until the summer, they could receive a 'more important' offer.
The Gunners' North London rivals Tottenham are also among those believed to be interested.
Spurs have become a more attractive option this week, since the appointment of Antonio Conte on Tuesday.
Moneybags Newcastle were also linked with Vlahovic last month.
