ARSENAL have been dealt a blow in the pursuit of hot prospect Dusan Vlahovic with the striker reportedly agreeing terms with Juventus.
The Gunners are on the hunt for a new No9 with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah all potentially leaving the club by the summer.
And Fiorentina ace Vlahovic – who scored 41 goals in 2021 – found himself on the Gunners’ shortlist.
But according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the £60million man has agreed terms with Italian giants Juve.
The report states that Vlahovic has agreed to a contract worth £5.8m a year and is keen to make the move to Turin.
Should Vlahovic make the move to Juve, Arsenal will have to go back to the drawing board to find an alternative.
Real Madrid flop Luka Jovic is a potential option for the north London club.
Jovic has just one goal in 15 appearances for the LaLiga giants.

Real Sociedad star Alexander Isak is also a name being linked with a move to Arsenal.
The Gunners want to pick Swede Isak up for less than £76m and could be an ideal alternative to Vlahovic.
And Isak would be a secure, long-term option for Arsenal, replacing Aubameyang.
