The Gunners have been linked to a mouth-watering €110 million double swoop in the winter market for Juventus duo Vlahovic and young midfielder Fabio Miretti.

Vlahovic completed an €80 million transfer to Juventus from Fiorentina in the closing days of the January 2022 market, becoming the most expensive winter signing in Serie A history.
