Arsenal in huge Dusan Vlahovic transfer boost with star wanting to join them in summer after snub for Juventus | The Sun
DUSAN VLAHOVIC is interested in joining Arsenal this summer, according to reports.
The Gunners were heavily linked with the striker during his time at Fiorentina.
Vlahovic, 23, snubbed them to join Juventus in January last year.
But things haven't worked out as he hoped in Turin.
Juve came fourth in underwhelming fashion last season, and face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League this time around after being slapped with a 15-point deduction.
Arsenal have thrived without Vlahovic, with Gabriel Jesus back among the goals last weekend and Eddie Nketiah previously deputising.

But the North Londoners are likely to be in the market for a physical No9 again this summer.
According to reporter Pete O'Rourke, Arsenal's success this season is likely to have attracted Vlahovic's attention.
He told GiveMeSport: "Vlahovic was a big target for Arsenal prior to his move to Juventus.
"They’ve been keeping tabs on his situation and a No9 is a position that Arteta would like to strengthen for next season as well.

Vlahovic is without a goal in his last seven Serie A appearances.
His most recent strikes came in Juve's 3-0 win over Salernitana on February 7.
