Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Jovic and Isak lined up as Vlahovic alternatives, Aubameyang ‘to reject Saudi Arabia’

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

Should Vlahovic not commit to joining Arsenal, they are said to be ready to move for Real Madrid’s Luka Jovic or Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak.

Meanwhile the North Londoners are looking to sell former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but the striker is ready to reject an offer from Saudi Arabia as he demands to stay in Europe.

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.
