Arsenal's failure to complete a deal for Dusan Vlahovic was one of their biggest disappointments of the transfer window, but the striker's comments after joining Juventus suggest it was always going to be difficult.
The London side were prepared to reach Fiorentina's asking price for the player - in the region of £60m - but failed to agree terms with Vlahovic himself over a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Vlahovic has spoken highly of his new club upon joining, saying "Juventus represents pride, tradition, family. Juventus are always there until the last minute, they never give up".
