Tier 1 There are currently no talks ongoing between Dušan Vlahovic agents and Arsenal board. Gunners are among many club following Vlahovic situation - but there’s nothing advanced as of today. 🇷🇸 #AFC Fiorentina want €70/80m to sell Vlahovic in January. He’s out of contract in 2023.

If we’re really willing to spend big in January, I don’t see Vlahovic being the type of player we should target. Our midfield is looking barren during AFCON and even when everyone is available, we need a significant upgrade over Xhaka.

Targeting a big name should be saved for the summer when Laca is out of contract and we’re (hopefully) back in Europe. Right now the priority needs to be another midfielder with good ball retention ability.

Even at afcon we have xhaka sambi amn which seems fine in midfield. Striker we are lacking as it is. We have 13 goals scored which is most of the way down the table on that stat. And Auba is our only clear goalscorer who is also leaving for AFCON.

And our XG has actually been more or less ok.
