Arsenal eye Dusan Vlahovic revenge mission as Mikel Arteta moves for Juventus' perfect Paul Pogba replacement

Arsenal could have their own Dusan Vlahovic revenge mission as Mikel Arteta eyes Juventus’ perfect Paul Pogba replacement.

Back in January 2022, Arsenal were targeting Fiorentina striker Vlahovic.

However, the Gunners were beaten to his signature by Juventus, who ended up signing the striker for a reported fee of £66.6 million.

Now, with the January transfer window on the horizon, Arsenal could finally get their revenge on Juventus over the failed transfer of Vlahovic.

According to TEAMtalk, Juventus are bracing themselves for competition from England as they look to sign Ukrainian midfielder Georgiy Sudakov, who has been tipped to be Juventus’ replacement for Pogba, who could be set for a lengthy ban after a failed drug test.

It has been reported that the Turin club have already made contact with Shakhtar Donetsk over a potential deal for Sudakov, but they are about to be joined by a host of Premier League clubs.

The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Brighton are all said to be keeping tabs on the 21-year-old.

Arsenal has reportedly been interested in Sudakov for a while, dating back to their scouting of winger Mykhailo Mudryk.

Champions City are said to be impressed by Sudakov and are keen to add the attacking midfielder to their ranks.

Whilst Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has already worked with the player when the Italian was the manager of Shakhtar.

Finally, Chelsea’s interest reportedly stemmed from Mudryk, who talked him up as a player the Stamford Bridge club should be looking at.
