Arsenal are too good for Dusan Vlahovic now and should not return to try and sign him in the January transfer window, according to FootballTransfers readers.
The Gunners have been linked to a mouth-watering €110 million double swoop in the winter market for Juventus duo Vlahovic and young midfielder Fabio Miretti.

Vlahovic completed an €80 million transfer to Juventus from Fiorentina in the closing days of the January 2022 market, becoming the most expensive winter signing in Serie A history.
