Arsenal's £85m Dusan Vlahovic plan revealed as transfer warning issued over Juventus star

With the January transfer window looming, the rumour mill continues to become busier with each passing day when it comes to Arsenal.

The Gunners, despite having an extremely busy summer in terms of incomings, have been tipped to spend even more over January as they look to secure European football for the next campaign.

As well as potential incomings at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta could also offload some of his fringe players as the Gunners look to raise some money.

So, with all of this being said, football.london rounds up the very latest Arsenal-related transfer rumours and news from around Europe.

Vlahovic transfer plan revealed

According to Gazetta, Arsenal have set aside a 'huge' chunk of their transfer budget in order to try and sign Fiorentina and Serbia forward Dusan Vlahovic next month.

The Gunners have been strongly linked with Vlahovic in recent months, but Fiorentina are said to be demanding as much as £85million for his services, despite his contract in Florence reaching its end in the summer of 2023.

However, the 21-year-old striker is reportedly not convinced by Arsenal and would rather a move elsewhere, but the Gunners are still thought to be in the race to sign the Serbian.

Forest chase Balogun loan

According to The Telegraph, Nottingham Forest are set to rival Middlesbrough in the race to sign Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun on loan in January.

Balogun has not made a start in the Premier League since the first game of the season against Brentford in August and Per Mertesacker recently revealed that the Gunners are planning on sending the 20-year-old on loan next month.

Sending Balogun on loan to a Championship side could be good business from Arsenal as he will be getting first-team experience at a really competitive level.

Juventus transfer warning

According to Italian news outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Arsenal have been warned that they will need to 'arrive ready' to persuade Dejan Kulusevski to sign from Juventus.

The Gunners have been strongly linked with the Sweden international in recent weeks, but it seems that the 21-year-old winger may need some convincing.

The report goes on to say that despite Arsenal's improved form this season, Kulusevski is still not sold on the idea of moving to the Emirates Stadium.

The Juventus winger still has around three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract in Turin.
