Arsenal backed to sign Gabriel Jesus ally after ‘huge’ transfer report – Campbell
Kevin Campbell has backed Arsenal to reignite their pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic if the centre-forward becomes available.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Highbury favourite suggested Mikel Arteta “will make room” in his side for the 22-year-old Serbian.
Arsenal missed out on signing Vlahovic in January after the striker opted to join Juventus instead.
According to Calciomercato (23 September), the London club are still keeping close tabs on the striker.
Vlahovic has four years remaining on his contract in Turin.
When asked by Football Insider if there was a need for Vlahovic after Gabriel Jesus’ start to the season, Campbell said: “We will make room for him.
“Listen, I understand that he chose Juventus but if he is available we will make a spot for him.
“We could use him in certain games. Let’s not forget that Gabriel Jesus is that good he can play down the middle and out wide. You need the flexibility to change in game.
“If Arsenal ever wanted to change the system and play two up top, Vlahovic could do that. What a front two Vlahovic and Jesus would be. They would cause all sorts of problems. It is important to have flexibility.
“At the moment I cannot see him leaving Juventus but you never know. Things are not going right there at the moment.
“If he becomes available, Arsenal should go for him. He is a killer in front of goal. He is a lefty as well which makes a huge difference.”
