‘No More Signing Stop Gaps’ ‘He’ll Get Eaten Alive In The EPL’ Fans Not Happy As Arsenal Eye Jesus Replacement

Arsenal are considering whether to make a loan approach for Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, according to multiple reports.

The Gunners are seeking a replacement for Gabriel Jesus who could be set for a long spell on the sidelines with an ACL injury.


Vlahovic has been linked with a move to the Emirates on and off since the club failed to land him during the 2022 January transfer window, but fans on X are not convinced he is the solution to the team’s problems up front:

Vlahovic could be available this month

The Serbian international has not signed a new contract with Juve and the Serie A side are reportedly prepared to listen to offers for the player, despite the fact that he remains a regular starter.

It has been suggested that Arsenal may only consider signing Vlahovic on loan but it is not known whether such an approach would be accepted.

Arsenal have very few options up front

Jesus’s injury leaves manager Mikel Arteta without a recognised striker in the first-team squad. Kai Havertz has been deployed there more often than not but the German is not a natural goalscorer, which was demonstrated by his performance against Manchester United at the weekend.

Bringing in a long-term solution in January is unlikely to be easy so a loan deal for someone like Vlahovic or potentially Brighton’s Evan Ferguson may have to be considered.
