Arsenal ‘set to beat Real Madrid to signing of Dusan Vlahovic’ as they plot January transfer for Juventus star
ARSENAL are set to win the race to sign Dusan Vlahovic in January, according to reports.
The Gunners have been tipped to sign a striker following the injury to Gabriel Jesus, with Eddie Nketiah also struggling for goals.

Arsenal were linked to Vlahovic in the summer and last January, having missed out on the chance to sign him when he opted to join Juventus almost two years ago.
But it appears Mikel Arteta and Edu are set to make another move for the 23-year-old, according to TuttoJuve.
Vlahovic has been out of sorts since joining Juventus although he does have four goals in ten appearances this season.
That means the Serie A giants could be open to selling – if the price is right.
Juventus are understood to want around £50million for Vlahovic, who has also attracted interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid .
If Arsenal fail in an approach for the Serbian they could turn their attention to Brentford frontman Ivan Toney.
The forward will return to action after Christmas and is widely tipped to leave the Bees when the transfer window re-opens.
Chelsea also want Toney, who is said be be torn between the two clubs.
