Arsenal reportedly tables mega Vlahovic bid
Arsenal has lodged a €70million (£58.3m) bid for Fiorentina's Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic, according to reports in Italy.
Dusan Vlahovic looms as a major topic in this January transfer window.
The 21-year-old Serbia international has scored 18 goals this season for Fiorentina.
Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona and Juventus have all been linked with Vlahovic, along with Arsenal and Tottenham.
As part of the proposed deal, Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira would join La Viola on a permanent deal.
Arsenal, which was seen as a long shot to secure Vlahovic's services, is keen to sign a new forward, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang falling out of favour.
