Juventus concluded a deal worth 67 million pounds to include VlahovicBut reports now suggest he is likely to join Arsenal exactly two years after the Gunners failed to pursue the 24-year-old.
There are suggestions for that Vlahovic is Arsenal's main target in JanuaryIt is said that Arteta's team has already seen the loan offer rejected (Football transfers).
If that is indeed the case, it seems they still won't stop their pursuit of the striker, with multiple media sources reporting that Arsenal's pursuit of Vlahovic is still very much alive.
This is echoed by CaughtOffside, although they also report that Arsenal have a smart alternative in mind if they are unable to strike a deal for the striker, who has scored 12 goals in all competitions this season.
Arsenal are considering a January move for Marseille striker Ilie Wahi
According to their sources, Marseille striker Ilie Wahi is on the list of potential centre-forward options. The 22-year-old scored 19 goals in Ligue 1 for former club Lens in the 2022/23 season, and his form across the Channel was eventually enough to secure a move to Marseille last summer.
Wahi has scored just three goals in all competitions since joining Roberto De Zerbi's side, so he hasn't quite enjoyed the best start to his career in Marseille, and now believes Arsenal could offer him a route out of Ligue 1.
CaughtOffside Write that down Arsenal are considering a January move for Wahiwho is seen as another option if they fail to sign Vlahovic, and other reports claim that the Frenchman's value is estimated at around 25 million pounds sterling – It would likely make him a more viable mid-season transfer from the club's point of view.
However, West Ham are also in desperate need of a striker, and they have set their sights on Wahi as a target themselves.
And it's called “”The real monster“Regarding his previous appearance by members of the press, he cannot be ruled out as a good choice to replace Jesus.
