Arsenal are not having the best of times in the Premier League at the moment.

Expected to challenge for the Premier League title this season, Mikel Arteta's side are as many as nine points behind leaders Liverpool.

One of the reasons why Arsenal are struggling is the lack of goals in crucial moments.

Kai Havertz has found the back of the net only four times in 11 Premier League games this season.

Bukayo Saka has given seven assists in 10 league matches, but the England international winger has scored only three goals.

Arsenal plan to sign Dusan Vlahovic in January transfer window

Arsenal have hatched a plan to solve this problem. According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, the Gunners are looking to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus in the January transfer window.

Galetti has claimed that Arsenal will meet the agent of Vlahovic soon.

The Gunners have also received a boost in their quest to sign the striker by the fact that Juventus are ready to sell the 24-year-old Serbia international and are looking at possible alternatives.

What Micah Richards said about Dusan Vlahovic in the past

Vlahovic, also on the radar of Chelsea, has been on the books of Juventus since January 2022 when he joined from Fiorentina.

The Serbia international striker has scored six goals in 12 Serie A matches and has scored three goals and provided one assist in four UEFA Champions League games this season.

Vlahovic, a player Manchester City are also keeping tabs on, found the back of the net 16 times and provided four assists in 27 Serie A starts last season.

Former Manchester City star Micah Richards is a huge fan of Vlahovic and has been so from the striker's Fiorentina days.

Richards said about Vlahovic on BBC Radio 5 Live in December 2021: "I have watched him a couple of times now. He is lightning. It's ridiculous. He has got 16 in 18 this season. His left foot is like a wand.

The former Fiorentina loanee added: "I am telling you now, he is everything, he is everything you need."
