Arsenal continues their pursuit to sign key target Dusan Vlahovic with another cash-plus player deal this week. Fiorentina striker has been in great form lately which has attracted interest from big clubs like Manchester City, Barcelona, and Juventus. But Arsenal are already in the advanced negotiation process to sign the Serbian at any cost.
According to the latest report from Italy, Fiorentina have accepted Arsenal’s bid of £50 million-plus Lucas Torreira yesterday and now Gunners are negotiating with players. The Uruguayan midfielder, Lucas Torreira, is already on loan at Fiorentina and is willing to leave the Emirates permanently. If Arsenal pulls this deal this month, then it will be a big statement from manager Mikel Arteta who is pushing for a top-four position finish in the Premier League this season.
The 21-year-old Serbian forward has been sensational for the past two years at Fiorentina and has established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe. He scored 21 Serie goals last season to draw the attention of European elites but this season, he has taken his goal tally to the next level. He is leading the Serie A goals chart with 17 goals in 21 matches, 3 goals in 2 Copa Italia fixtures, and 4 goals in 8 World Cup Qualifiers fixtures for Serbia. This consistent performance has raised his transfer value to £65 million, but he has just 18 months remaining on his contract at Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Fiorentina are willing t their star striker during mid-season to raise funds to utilize in the next summer. Vlahovic is also keen on an exit but is not sure about his next club yet as Fiorentina are unlikely to offer him regular Champions League football and a big pay rise.
Can Arsenal use Torreira to bring Vlahovic to the club? ?

Arsenal Set To Finalise Contract With Vlahovic This Week As Player Hints At Fiorentina Exit:
According to a report from football.london, Fiorentina have accepted Arsenal’s latest offer for Dusan Vlahovic yesterday and now it’s up to the player to negotiate a contract. Vlahovi is asking for a huge contract offer, around £200-a-week, which Arsenal are ready to pay. But now Arsenal have to convince the player’s representative before other club’s swoop in which is very unlikely at this time.
Dusan Vlahovic also hinted at his exit at Fiorentina in their last match against Genoa CFC. The Serbian scored in their dominating 6-0 win at home yesterday but his celebration for his goal caught the attention of fans and journalists. The player ran towards the corner flag to celebrate the goal and raised his hands above the head to thank Fiorentina fans. This was a clear sign that Vlavovic played his last game at Estadio Artemio Franchi.
Arsenal are sitting in 5th position in the Premier League table with 35 points from the opening 20 matches. They are just 2 points behind 4th placed West Ham United with two games in hand. Arsenal’s chances to finish in the top four will surely boost if they sign Dusan Vlavoci this month as Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Eddie Nketiah are struggling with form this season.
