Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Dusan Vlahovic talks LATEST after deadline set, Renato Sanches confirms Gunners interest

ARSENAL have entered talks with Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.

And the Gunners have set a DEADLINE for the in-demand 21-year-old striker to decide if he wants to join them, with Juventus also interested.

Arsenal are believed to have had a £66m offer accepted, with the fee rising up to £88m with add-ons.

Though one player who is closing in on an Arsenal move is Arthur Melo. The Gunners have held talks over a loan deal for the Juve midfielder.

And Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly set to be handed a new two-year deal by Arsenal with the club determined to fend off interest from Manchester City.

The 39-year-old, who spent time as Pep Guardiola’s No2 at the Etihad, is tied down at the Emirates until 2023.

That means his contract ends the same time as Guardiola’s at City.
