TOP STORY: Arsenal ready to move for Juve’s Kulusevski

Arsenal have long been one of the clubs linked with Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic, along with the likes of Juventus and Atletico Madrid.

However, Gianluca Di Marzio suggests that the Serbia international’s agents aren’t interested in sitting down with the Londoners and now the Gunners are taking an initial look at Juventus attacker Dejan Kulusevski as an alternative.

The red side of North London has enjoyed plenty of attacking excitement in recent times as they have climbed the Premier League table, largely thanks to Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

However, they’re not resting on their laurels and are looking toward the 21-year-old, who came off the bench during Sweden’s 2-0 loss against Georgia on Thursday.

He has only one goal so far this season, though that did prove to be a Champions League winner against Zenit St. Petersburg, while he also assisted during a 3-2 Serie A win against Sampdoria.

Considering just two of Kulusevski’s 15 appearances in all competitions for Juventus this term have come from the start, there may be an argument that the Swede will be willing to look elsewhere for game time.

Joining a club that is on a 10-game run without a defeat could certainly be good for confidence.
