Having said that, what other reasons should the North Londoners spend on the 24-year-old?
Well, the first one is, because U23 scout Antonio Mango saysThe Juventus ace is simply an excellent “goal machine”, which is exactly what Arteta needs at the moment.
For example, the Belgrade-born gem scored in 38 games last season 18 goals and 3 assistsand this year, he has accumulated 12 goals and 2 assists Goals per game in 23 games are 1.80 and 1.64 games respectively.
Most importantly, the “world-class” striker Voiced by journalist Siavoush Fallahihas some impressive underlying numbers.
For example, According to FBrefamong the forwards in the top five leagues in Europe, he ranks in the top 4% of penalty kick success rate, top 10% of expected goals, and top 11% of shots, all data are calculated in 90.
Ultimately, while Arsenal do have some extremely talented attacking players, they just lack that extra something that Vlahovic can provide them.
Arteta and his team-mates must therefore do everything they can to bring the Serbia international to the Emirates Stadium this month, as their season could depend on it.
