“If I’m the Sporting Director, I’ll be signing this guy for Arsenal by January because he’s a very complete striker”- Arsenal icon Ian Wight really wants Mikel Arteta to sign “phenomenal” 1.9M tall striker who is faster than Man City’s Jeremy Doku and better than Ivan Toney

Arsenal is seriously looking to add a speedy striker to their team, aiming to strengthen their chances in the Premier League this season. The team has been discussing the possibility of signing a new striker during the upcoming January transfer window, with the belief that securing a prolific scorer, someone capable of netting around 20 goals per season, is crucial for their success.

Recent rumors have linked Arsenal to players like Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins, but according to reports from Football Transfers, manager Mikel Arteta has identified Dusan Vlahovic as his top choice for a new striker.

This news isn’t entirely surprising, as Vlahovic has been connected to Arsenal in transfer talks for the past three years. Although the team pursued the Serbian striker in 2021, he ultimately chose to join Juventus over Arsenal at that time.

Now, with Arsenal’s rise in status and Juventus facing challenges, Vlahovic might be considering a move to the north London club. The 6ft 3 striker possesses a combination of speed, strength, and skill, making him a modern and intriguing addition to the Gunners. Interestingly, data from The Speeds Database indicates that Vlahovic is even faster than Jeremy Doku, a player known for his exceptional speed this season.

While it remains uncertain whether this transfer will materialize, keeping an eye on Vlahovic as the January window approaches seems wise, given his potential impact on Arsenal’s performance.
