Dusan Vlahovic could be Europe’s most in-form striker at the moment. With eight goal contributions in his previous seven Serie A games, the Serbian is rediscovering the form that prompted Arsenal to want to recruit him in the winter of 2022.
The feeling is that Mikel Arteta still considers him a dream striker for his project and would leap at the chance to sign him. There was even chatter that Thomas Partey or Charlie Patino would be offered in a swap deal for him to join.
Well, with his rise in form after months of Juve fans doubting he’ll ever make it in Turin, there’s a fear among them that they’ll lose him; last summer he was linked with Chelsea, this winter Arsenal, and there’s a chance it’s a move Arsenal will pursue in the summer given they can’t close his deal this winter due to FFP.
In their worry that the Old Lady may be pressed to sell their hitman, with teams like Arsenal making offer after offer, their legend, Luca Toni, has advice for the Juve decision-makers.
The two-time Serie A Golden Boot winner believes Vlahovic is on his way to becoming a lethal striker and the best in Europe, and his former club should not consider selling him, even if a team bids €100 million.
“I thought so in November (that Juventus have a potential 20-goal-a-season striker) and I am even more convinced of it now. Vlahovic is a complete centre-forward,” Toni tells Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Dusan, given his size, just needed to feel good physically and gain confidence. But his talent has never been in question. Now, he is more serene and has found consistency.
“(I would not sell) even for 100 million euros. He is strong and young. And these figures will also arrive in the future for someone like Vlahovic, destined to become one of the best number nines in Europe.”
Listening to Toni, you might think Arsenal’s signing of Vlahovic will be more difficult than ever. Of which you’d feel he may be priced out of joining Arsenal because there’s no way Arsenal will pay more than 100 million euros to sign him after he snubbed them in 2022.

The real Mckoy, had suffered a dip in form recently that maybe down to his manager style of play, but class is permanent and now he’s back among the goals.
The gaffer knows he’s pedigree, but maybe Arsenal is waiting on his price tag to hit the roof before another serious attempt is made.
A bid as low as £63 mill in the summer would have been enough, he was offered for £34 mill to the bridge in a swap deal, they too will regret it.
Class IS permanent, that’s why MA signed Havertz and chelsea before that.
Forget the fee and the wages, kronkie’s paying for that.
Just continue to watch him blossom under MA.
Dusan would be the same scenario… if we sign him!!
We could have gotten him last summer but no we got Kai instead 😂😂😂
Abd4wguke Hacerrz is improving every game, he isn’t it seems 🤔😂
Moogz
And he would have played Xhaka’s position this season, right?
I don’t know why people are against Havertz. He will prove people wrong, same as Raya.
Dusan is good
But give me Toney
Speaking for myself, I am against Havertz because his acquisition gas made us worse. We are less fluid with him and we’re one man down in build up. He’s not creative, he’s not a good passer, he’s not a substantial goal threat, he’s not a controller like odegaard/Thiago. What exactly does he give us, I would rather gave gotten a real 8 and a killer upfront. Raya is also a down grade on Ramsdale shot stopping wise
