Arsenal have been linked to Dusan Vlahovic in recent weeks, but Fabrizio Romano has now claimed that the Gunners aren’t interested in signing the striker.
A number of outlets have reported that the Gunners are keen on Vlahovic, but Romano says that he’s hearing that there is no interest in the youngster from the north London outfit.
To be fair, it makes sense for Arsenal to not want Vlahovic.
Yes, he’s got a spectacular record in Serie A this season, but he’s not the type of player that would suit Mikel Arteta’s style of play.
The 6ft 6 forward is a brilliant physical presence up top, but he’s not the type of attacker that suits Arteta’s style, which focuses more on slow build-up play an runs in behind.
Of course, this update from Romano doesn’t mean that Vlahovic won’t be on the move this summer, he’s been linked to a number of other clubs across the continent, and as you can imagine any striker that nets 21 goals in Serie A will be a wanted man.
Whether or not Arsenal move for a striker in the upcoming window remains to be seen, but if they do, it doesn’t look as though Vlahovic will be the man they opt for.
