Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are interested in signing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, a player Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told the Gunners to bring to the Emirates Stadium, according to CMW.
CMW reported in September that that Arteta has told Arsenal to bid for Vlahovic as well as his Juventus teammate Fabio Miretti in 2023.
Arteta is reportedly pushing for Arsenal to offer €115 million (£100 million) for the Juventus duo.
CMW subsequently claimed that Graham Potter’s Chelsea could make a bid of €100 million (£87 million) for Vlahovic, who will play for Serbia at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
