Arsenal ready Dusan Vlahovic 'formal offer' as Gunners linked to double midfield transfer swoop

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal squad is at it's bare bones ahead of this weekend's north London derby against Tottenham but business is on the cards, with Mikel Arteta's side having put in a formal request to the Premier League to have the game postponed.

The Gunners are without a host of players due to the international schedule, injuries, suspension and Covid, leaving the club in a bit of a pickle.

Movement in the market is now set to go ahead, however, with the latest reports suggesting significant movement is on the cards.

Over in Italy, Calcio Mercato states Arsenal are ready to make a formal offer for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic - who is their number one target.

The Gunners are eyeing a €60m (£51m) move for the Serbia international and it's claimed that Fiorentina are lining-up River Plate's Julian Alvarez as his replacement.

While Fiorentina are ready to accept a sale this month, the difficult part may be persuading Vlahovic himself to a move.

Elsewhere, the Express cites reports that state Arsenal are ready to make a £21m bid for Brazilian starlet Danilo.

The 20-year-old is being eyed as an addition to bolster Arsenal's midfield but Palmieras are determined to have the player in their ranks for the Club World Cup in February, so only want a deal to go ahead in the summer.

Finally, the Daily Star cites reports that indicate Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo is ready to fly in to north London to complete a move.

Arsenal want Arthur to bolster their depleted midfield ranks and reports have previously indicated they're ready to cover his wages in full for a loan deal.
