Vlahovic deserved to receive a “rain” of praise after Juve’s 2-1 comeback. He assisted Samuel Iling-Junior to score the equalizing goal. Even the celebration after Vlahovic’s goal was the most impressive, even though it got him a yellow card.
“I want Dusan Vlahovic to come to Arsenal,” a Gunners fan was emotional after witnessing Vlahovic’s header and taking off his shirt to celebrate. “Look at his finish under tremendous pressure, a true number 9”.
“He is exactly what Arsenal needs right now,” another viewer commented. While the majority of comments affirmed that the Bianconeri striker is “unstoppable”. Vlahovic is in impressive scoring form this season. Previously defeated teams include Inter, Bologna, Frosinone and Lazio.
Sunday’s late goal in Salerno was the striker’s second in three games, bringing Vlahovic’s total number of Serie A goals this season to seven. And while that number isn’t exactly impressive, but he remains Juve’s top scorer this season and poses a far greater threat than Arsenal’s current strikers.
Gabriel Jesus has only 3 goals in the Premier League this season and is too sensitive to injuries. Product of the Gunners training facility, Eddie Nketiah has 5 goals, but 3 of them were scored in the match against the “red light” team Sheffield United. This young English player was never considered a future leader of Arsenal.
Persuading coach Massimiliano Allegri’s team to sell Vlahovic – who moved to Turin from Fiorentina for £68 million in 2022 – this winter transfer window will be very difficult. Therefore, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta may be forced to turn his attention to another goal.
