Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal want to sign Dusan Vlahovic in the January transfer window, and Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing Dejan Kulusevski.
But it seems that Juventus are planning a move that could spoil both Arsenal and Tottenham’s transfer plan.
The Times have reported that Arsenal are interested in signing Vlahovic from Fiorentina in the January transfer window.
TMW have claimed that Arsenal have offered €70 million (£58.59m) to Fiorentina for striker Vlahovic and are ready to pay the Serbia international €10 million per year as salary (£8.37 million per year/£160,949.94 per week).
However, Juventus have made an offer of their own – one that affects Arsenal’s bitter North London rivals Tottenham as well.
The Times have reported that Juventus have offered Fiorentina more than €30 million (£25.1 million) and Kulusevski.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that Tottenham like Kulusevski.
CalcioMercato have claimed that Tottenham are willing to offer Juventus £15 million plus Japhet Tanganga for 21-year-old Sweden international Kulusevski.
We covered the report here on HITC Sport.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur affected
If Juventus get what they want, then it will affect Arsenal and Tottenham.
The Gunners’ plan to sign one of the best young strikers in the world is quite ambitious, and it is going to be hard for them to convince Vlahovic to snub Juventus.
As for Tottenham, unless Kulusevski refuses to be included in any swap deal with Fiorentina, we do not think that there is much that they can do.
