Dusan Vlahovic's potential move to Arsenal could well happen in the next month after rumours claimed that the Gunners had ramped up their efforts to sign the Serbian in the current transfer window. Yet according to reports, the Serbian would prefer a move to Juventus or Inter Milan if he was to leave Fiorentina.
Vlahovic has scored 16 league goals in just 20 games this season as he has almost single-handedly fired Fiorentina into the top half.
La Viola sit seventh in the table having scored 34 goals, with Vlahovic's 16 meaning he has scored almost half of their tally.
That has attracted the attention of most of Europe's top sides, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City amongst others being linked with a move.
Arsenal have ramped up their interest in a deal this window, reportedly making Vlahovic their 'number one target' as they look to replace the hole that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has left in the team.

But according to football.london, the Gunners could lose out after Vlahovic told close friends that he would prefer a move to Juventus or Inter Milan.
With Aubameyang having been dropped from the side and stripped of the captaincy after repeated disciplinary breaches, the Gunners have turned to Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah.
The duo have fared well, with Lacazette scoring and assisting five goals in his last five games.
But with both of their contracts up in the summer, Arsenal must strengthen their attacking department if they are to successfully replace the goals they may lose.
A fee of £60million has been touted for Vlahovic which they are reportedly able to pay, although the Gunners may struggle to agree terms with his representatives.
