Mikel Arteta The team went into the north London derby knowing that only a win would do that and although they conceded first, they were undoubtedly the better team.

Gabriel Magalhães forced Dominic Solanke’s own goal to equalize before an out-of-form Leandro Trossard put the clock back By last season, there was a wonderful shot, the winning goal, within four minutes.

If anything, the Gunners could and probably should win by a bigger margin, and they may well do so if they have signed a player who has recently been touted to move to the Emirates Stadium.

In fact, the report goes a step further, confirming that the Gunners have now made the Serbia international their “number one” forward target this month and will gather more information about him before deciding whether to make a concrete offer for him. This week. ‘

If the north Londoners do decide to pursue the 24-year-old this week, they will need to make a huge investment as reports suggest the Old Lady value the striker at €65m, which translates to around £55m.

It would be an expensive and potentially complicated transfer to cross the line, but given Vlahovic’s ability and Arsenal’s need for a new striker, it’s one well worth pursuing, especially because He scored a hat-trick against Tottenham last night.

Why Arsenal should sign Vlahovic

So, straight to the point, Arsenal should go all out to bring in Vlahovic this week and the main reason he was sure to bury the Lilywhites last night is his output and impressive record.

For example, the Serbian, who plays alone for the weak Juventus team this season, is called a “superstar” by European football. Correspondent Andrew Cesarthe back has been found online Appeared 12 times and contributed 2 assists What’s more worth mentioning is that he only played 23 times for a total of 1873 minutes, which is equivalent to an average of one goal every 1.64 games or every 133.78 minutes.

In comparison, Kai Havertz has as many goals as assists this season, but in 28 appearances totaling 2,322 minuteswhich means he is involved in a goal on average every 1.86 games or every 154.8 minutes.

Furthermore, while the German’s goalscoring record over the past few seasons has been mixed, the Juve ace has been a reliable source of goals over the years.

For example, he discovered the back of the net 49 times in 108 games Played for Fiorentina and contributed eight assists while he is currently 53 goals and 11 assists 124 appearances for the Old Lady means the former averages 1.89 goals per goal and the latter averages 1.90 goals per goal.

Finally, despite his size and strength, the Belgrade-born marksman is more than just a target player who can shoot. Respected analyst Ben Mattinson sayshe is “lethal in transition with the ball behind him” and has “developed his defensive skills in the low post,” which sounds like exactly what the Gunners are doing in a team full of players who like to have the ball at their feet and struggle to exploit transitions​​ The forwards needed in the team of the season.

Ultimately, this may require a significant investment from the board, but Arsenal are in desperate need of a new figure at the top and Vlahovic looks like he would be the perfect choice and was the man who put Spurs to the sword last night.
