Arsenal could fix striker issue in January with €80m star with 9 G/A this season

Mikel Arteta has endured a difficult start to the season with injuries to key players hampering his start

The Gunners have won just 4 of their opening 11 Premier League games, with Alexandre Lacazette struggling for form in front of goal

The Gunners have been linked with a move for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic in recent months, and the Serbian international has continued to impress in Serie A this season, scoring 9 goals and providing 2 assists in his 13 appearances.

Vlahovic is a powerful and clinical striker who is also good in the air, and he would be a major upgrade on Lacazette, who has managed just 1 goal in his last 10 Premier League appearances.

The 21-year-old would also add some much-needed depth to Arsenal's attack, with Arteta currently having to rely on the likes of Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun as backup to Lacazette.

Arsenal are reportedly willing to spend €80m on Vlahovic in January, and Fiorentina are believed to be open to selling the striker if they receive a suitable offer.

If Arsenal are able to sign Vlahovic, it would be a major coup for Arteta and the Gunners, and it could help them to challenge for a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.

Here are some of the key reasons why Arsenal should sign Vlahovic in January:

• He is a proven goalscorer with a good record in Serie A.
• He is still only 21 years old and has the potential to get even better.
• He would add some much-needed depth to Arsenal's attack.
• He is a good fit for Arteta's style of play.
• He is available for a reasonable price.

Conclusion

Arsenal should not hesitate to sign Vlahovic in January if they have the opportunity. He is a quality player who would make a major difference to the Gunners.
