Arsenal have made contact with Dusan Vlahovic's representatives over a possible January transfer following Gabriel Jesus' knee injury. The Gunners could be forced to dip their toe in the transfer market for a short-term fix next month to ensure they avoid dropping off in their Premier League table race.
Mikel Arteta's side were handed a major blow last week when the club confirmed Jesus had undergone surgery on a sustained knee injury whilst participating in the World Cup with Brazil. The forward had been an important member of Arsenal's team in their opening 14 games of the season with 12 goal contributions.
The striker will be hugely missed by Arsenal in the second half of the season and his absence is set to re-jig Edu's transfer strategy for the January transfer window. Many strikers have been linked since Jesus' injury was confirmed and a name supporters may remember for his links this time last year looks to be revisited - Vlahovic.
