Mikel Arteta’s facet went into the North London derby realizing nothing however a win would do, and whereas they conceded first, they have been far and away the higher staff.

Gabriel Magalhães compelled Dominic Solanke to attain an personal objective for the equaliser, after which the out-of-form Leandro Trossard turned the clock again to final season and rifled off a blistering shot for the winner, all inside 4 minutes.

If something, the Gunners may, and doubtless ought to, have received by a a lot bigger margin, and had they already signed a participant lately touted for a transfer to the Emirates, they could nicely have.

Actually, the report goes one step additional, confirming that the Gunners have now made the Serbian worldwide their ‘No.1’ striker goal for this month and can collect additional data on him earlier than deciding on whether or not to make a concrete provide for him ‘this week.’

If the North Londoners do determine to go after the 24-year-old this week, then they will must make a hefty funding, because the report has revealed that the Outdated Girl worth the ahead at €65m, which converts to about £55m.

It will be a pricey and probably difficult switch to recover from the road, however given Vlahović’s capacity and Arsenal’s want for a brand new striker, it’s one nicely value pursuing, particularly as he would have scored a hattrick in opposition to Spurs final night time.

Furthermore, whereas the German’s goalscoring report from seasons previous is greater than somewhat spotty, the Juve ace has been a dependable supply of targets for a number of years now.

For instance, he discovered the again of the web 49 times in 108 games for Fiorentina and supplied eight assists, whereas he is presently on 53 goals and 11 assists for the Outdated Girl in 124 appearances, that means he maintained a mean of a objective involvement each 1.89 for the previous and is averaging one each 1.90 for the latter.

Lastly, regardless of his bodily stature and power, the Belgrade-born marksman is not only a goal man to play balls into, as according to respected analyst Ben Mattinson, he is “lethal on transition with balls in behind” and has “developed his sport vs low blocks,” which appears like simply the striker the Gunners want in a staff filled with gamers preferring the ball to their toes and battle to take advantage of transitions this season.

In the end, it’d require a major funding from the board, however Arsenal desperately want a brand new profile up prime, and Vlahović appears like he’d be the right choice and somebody who would have put Spurs to the sword final night time.
