“Accept their demand and join them by January”- Football demon Kylian Mbappe has told sensational Italy £52M talent to join Arsenal- Mikel Arteta personally wants the player after Kylian Mbappe gave him the “green light” to brining the star man to Arsenal

Mikel Arteta personally wants Arsenal to sign £52m striker who Kylian Mbappe says is ‘one of the best’

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has personally identified Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus as a target in the upcoming January transfer window.

The Gunners have had a decent season so far, but their main weakness – as evident in the game against West Ham United last night – is that they lack a prolific forward. Vlahovic could solve that issue next month.

Mikel Arteta wants to sign Dusan Vlahovic for Arsenal

Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League table after 18 games, just one point behind the leaders, Liverpool.

That, on paper, is not bad at all considering there’s more than half of the season still left to be played, and many of their injured players are set to return in the coming weeks.

However, their top scorers in the Premier League are Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah, who both have just five goals each this season. That is not a good look for a side aiming to win the title.

Many feel Arsenal need to sign a new striker in the January transfer window, and TV Play claim this week that Mikel Arteta has identified Dusan Vlahovic as a target in January.

The Serbian has been on Arsenal’s radar since before he joined Juventus, and he is now set to leave The Old Lady next month. Juve want £52 million for their striker, but the report claims the Gunners are only ready to offer £34.7 million at the moment.

‘The game is far from over’, writes the outlet, suggesting that there could yet be a twist in the story once the January transfer window opens on Monday.

Kylian Mbappe thinks Dusan Vlahovic is one of the best

PSG star Kylian Mbappe is up there with the best players in the world, and he knows a good footballer when he sees one.

The French World Cup winner has noticed Vlahovic’s talent and brilliance over the years, and he has publicly branded the Serbian as one of the best players of this generation.

Mbappe said in September last year: “Vlahovic is a quality striker, he is one of the best of his generation. He can do much better going forward, he has so much to give.

“He has already shown so much, Only time will tell, but I don’t think it is a big risk for me to say that he will be a top striker in the coming years.”
