Arsenal are being linked with a number of different attacking players, as Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta look to bolster their forward line ahead of next season.

The Gunners want to add a striker to their ranks, with the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike being mooted as potential options.

Reports emerged on Friday indicating that Sesko is Arsenal’s primary target, although Berta is keeping his options open.

An old name that was previously linked with a move to N5 has also been mentioned as a candidate in recent days, although Arsenal fans are keen for their club to steer clear of him.

Dusan Vlahovic wants Arsenal transfer

Arsenal tried to sign Dusan Vlahovic back in 2022, but the Serbian rejected a move to North London in favour of joining Juventus.

Now, after three-and-a-half years in Turin, the striker is keen on reversing his decision and finally signing for the Gunners.

According to Calcio Mercato, the number nine is convinced that plying his trade at the Emirates is the best thing for his career and has spoken to Arteta in the past about a prospective move.

Vlahovic supposedly views Arsenal as the perfect place for him to relaunch his career, and Juventus are open to sanctioning his departure.

The Old Lady have placed a €50 million (£42 million) price tag on the 25-year-old, who has scored 15 goals across all competitions this season.

Arsenal fans don’t want Andrea Berta to sign Dusan Vlahovic

Vlahovic has largely underwhelmed at Juventus, scoring 56 goals in 142 games for the Serie A giants following his €70 million move in January 2022.

Having turned down Arsenal’s proposal back when he was at Fiorentina, the Gunners faithful aren’t on board with the idea of signing him now.

One fan wrote on X: “Pass, you had your chance, we’ve outgrown you now.”

Another added: “Nope, that ship has sailed.”

Meanwhile, one supporter attacked the player’s original choice, writing: “You chose poorly bud. Suffer the consequences.”

Another fan wrote: “Too little too late. Bro had his chance to come to Arsenal. We move onto [Viktor] Gyokeres.”

Indeed, Vlahovic should have taken his chance to sign for Arsenal when he could, and the Gunners ought not to be bringing players to their club who didn’t want to be there previously.
