Arsenal shift attention to Real Madrid striker as prime target Dusan Vlahovic joins Juventus

Arsenal could seek a short-term loan for Real Madrid ace Luka Jovic after the Premier League lost Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus.

Manager Mikel Arteta is desperate to bring in another striker after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fell out of favour.

Vlahovic was Arteta’s top target but the Serbia international has signed a five-and-a-half year deal with the Old Lady, tying him to the club until June 2026.

That is why the Gunners are examining several alternatives, including Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin and of course Jovic.

The north Londoners have been told by Real that Jovic may become available on loan.

The two clubs have a good relationship after Arsenal loaned Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard from Los Blancos.

And Jovic is believed to be eager to prove himself in the Premier League after a hapless stint at the Santiago Bernabeu
