“If I’m the Sporting Director, I’ll be signing this guy for Arsenal by January because he’s a very complete striker”- Arsenal icon Ian Wight really wants Mikel Arteta to sign “phenomenal” 1.9M tall striker who is faster than Man City’s Jeremy Doku and better than Ivan Toney.

Arsenal is actively seeking to enhance their squad by adding a swift striker, with a focus on bolstering their position in the current Premier League campaign. Discussions within the team regarding the prospect of signing a new striker in the upcoming January transfer window are underway. The consensus is that securing a prolific scorer, capable of netting around 20 goals per season, is imperative for the team’s success.

Recent speculations have linked Arsenal to players such as Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins. However, reports from Football Transfers indicate that manager Mikel Arteta has pinpointed Dusan Vlahovic as his preferred choice for the new striker role.

This development is not entirely unexpected, considering Vlahovic’s longstanding association with Arsenal in transfer discussions over the past three years. Despite the team’s pursuit of the Serbian striker in 2021, he ultimately opted for Juventus over Arsenal at that time.

With Arsenal’s elevated status and Juventus encountering challenges, there is now speculation that Vlahovic might be contemplating a move to the north London club. Standing at 6ft 3, the striker combines speed, strength, and skill, making him a modern and compelling addition to the Gunners. Notably, data from The Speeds Database suggests that Vlahovic is even faster than Jeremy Doku, a player renowned for his exceptional speed this season.

While the realization of this transfer remains uncertain, keeping a watchful eye on Vlahovic as the January window approaches appears prudent, considering the potential impact he could have on Arsenal’s performance.
