Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Newcastle United scouted Dusan Vlahovic this weekend just after it emerged that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are close to reaching an agreement, according to Calciomercato.
What’s the story?
Calciomercato have reported that scouts from Tottenham, Liverpool and Newcastle watched Vlahovic in action for Fiorentina against Juventus on Saturday.
Manchester United scouts were also reportedly present at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus won the Serie A game 1-0 at home.
What about Arsenal?
The report in Calciomercato does not mention anything about Arsenal watching the striker in action for Fiorentina at the weekend.
It does state that Fiorentina want at least €60 million (£51.44 million) for the 21-year-old striker.
We do know about Arsenal’s interested in the Serbia international striker already.
How?
Well, Gianluca Di Marzio reported last week that Arsenal are close to reaching an agreement with Fiorentina over the signing of Vlahovic.
Mikel Arteta’s side want to bring the striker to the Emirates Stadium as soon as the January transfer window.
The report, though, did say that the striker’s agents want to wait until the summer of 2022 to see if any other big offers arrive.
We covered the report here on HITC Sport.
Based on Calciomercato‘s report, it seems that Tottenham, Newcastle and Liverpool are maintaining their interest in the striker despite Arsenal agreement claim.
Vlahovic has scored eight goals in Serie A so far this season.
The Fiorentina no. 9 scored 21 goals in the league last season.
