Not so long ago, back when Arsenal were aiming for just Champions League qualification rather than title triumphs, manager Mikel Arteta was keen on making Dusan Vlahovic the main man at the Emirates.
The Serbian striker had attracted plenty of admirers as a result of his fine form in front of goal for Fiorentina. A number of the continent's biggest clubs were keeping tabs on the situation until eventually it became a two-horse race between Arsenal and Juventus.
Perhaps it was something to do with his prior Serie A experience, but Vlahovic opted to remain in Italy and put pen to paper on a deal with Juventus, snubbing the project the Gunners are building in the process.
