Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic reportedly has no plans to leave the club despite interest from Mikel Arteta's Arsenal.

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic reportedly has no plans to leave the club despite interest from Arsenal.

The 22-year-old was one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe during his time at Fiorentina, but Juve won the race for his signature in January and forked out around £70m for his services.

Arsenal were one of several clubs who missed out Vlahovic, but a recent report claims that they still hold an interest in the Serbia international.

However, 90min claims that Vlahovic has no interest in swapping Turin for North London and he is not looking to leave the Italian giants who he joined just nine months ago.

A source with knowledge of the striker's situation revealed: "He is not moving, he is playing well himself and he is fully focused on his game.

"He has been with Juventus for less than 12 months and is not looking to move."

Vlahovic ended the 2021-22 campaign with 29 goals and six assists in 45 appearances across all competitions, including nine strikes and two assists for Juve.

The 6ft 3in striker has since made a strong start to the new season, finding the net four times in six Serie A appearances, but Juve have struggled under head coach Massimiliano Allegri, who has come under fire following a poor run of form.

The Old Lady have won only two of their opening seven Serie A matches and they currently sit eighth in the table, while they were also beaten by both Paris Saint-Germain and Benfica in their first two Champions League group games earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are flying high at the top of the Premier League table, with Mikel Arteta's side winning six of their opening seven fixtures.

The Gunners are not short of goals as they have netted 17 times in this season's top flight, which can only be bettered by Manchester City (23) and Tottenham Hotspur (18).

Summer signing Gabriel Jesus has been a standout performer for Arteta's side, with the Brazilian striker scoring four goals and providing three assists in seven Premier League games.
