Arsenal have suffered a major transfer blow with Juventus beating them to £63million man Dusan Vlahovic.And the Gunners are now weighing up whether to sign a striker like Luka Jovic on loan before spending big in the summer.Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the preferred option long-term but Arsenal know any move for him will have to wait with the Merseysiders in relegation trouble.So they will explore signing short-term help - with Jovic one option that has been presented to the board.Fiorentina star Vlahovic was Arsenal's top target but he is on his way to Juve after talks between the two Italian clubs bore fruit.The final details on the transfer still need to be resolved but the Serbian has already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal.Arsenal need a striker now to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Arsenal fans will love Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s tweets from back in the day as the club look to ramp up their interest in his services.The Everton star has long been on the wish list at the Emirates as they look to bolster their attacking force.But that necessity has been made a priority after Mikel Arteta ostracised Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from the squad, leaving the Gunners light up front.Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic is the top target but prising him away from Serie A has proved difficult and Arsenal may have to look elsewhere.It has led to the north London outfit ramping up their efforts to sign Calvert-Lewin in the summer.And his old tweets will please Arsenal fans as they suggest that he, too, is a hand-on-heart Gooner.A post from March, 2013 read “#COYG” - a common hashtag among the Arsenal fanbase.At the time, Calvert-Lewin had yet to make an appearance in professional football as he was coming up through the Sheffield United academy - three days away from his 16th birthday.The England international has since gone on to become a key player with Everton, though this campaign has been hampered by injury.The striker has made just four appearances for the Toffees all season in the Premier League while the club have found themselves in a relegation battle.Regardless of his long absence, only three players have scored more than Calvert-Lewin - Demarai Gray, Andros Townsend and Richarlison.Arsenal’s need for a striker was made particularly evident when they drew 0-0 with Burnley on the weekend at the Emirates.After the match, Arteta admitted that he was less than confident that he could bring in the transfers that he wants.“Well, we are certainly trying,” he said, “but I don’t know if we’re going to be able to do

Arsenal will move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin if they fail to sign Dusan Vlahovic.But any attempt to sign the Everton and England striker will not be made until the summer - and is certain to be strongly resisted by the Merseysiders.Fiorentina star Vlahovic is Arsenal's top target and they have made it clear they are willing to do a deal worth over £50m to bring him in now.But the Serbian international wants to join a club that can offer him Champions League football next season - and Juventus are currently favourites to sign him.Tottenham have also enquired about Vlahovic but Juve believe the player wants to join them.The Gunners also fear Manchester City could yet come into the running for the 21-year-old, who has scored 20 times in 24 games this season.So Arsenal are drawing up contingency plans - and Calvert-Lewin is the man they will turn to if Vlahovic turns them down.The Gunners have kept tabs on Toffees star Calvert-Lewin for years and believe the 24-year-old's best years are still to come.But Everton will resist any attempt to sign him, despite the financial situation at Goodison Park meaning sales are likely this summer whether they stay up or not.Calvert-Lewin is regarded as a key player by the club both now and for the future, with recently sacked boss Rafa Benitez trying to build a team around him.The 11-cap striker started the season with three goals in three games but was then ruled out for four months through injury, and has only recently returned.Arsenal could say goodbye to three strikers between now and the summer with the futures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah up in the air.Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants a big name brought in to help his team take the next step and

Do you think Arsenal will land Vlahovic?

Arsenal are closing in on signing Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic following reports that a £67 million bid has been accepted.The Gunners have been in need of a striker since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was stripped of the captaincy and effectively booted out of the club by manager Mikel Arteta last month.Vlahovic meanwhile has been on fire in Serie A, netting 17 goals in 21 matches this season and attracting interest from every corner of Europe in the process.But Arsenal appear to have pipped their rivals to the post and could seal a deal for the Serbian in the coming days, providing personal terms can be agreed.Another major bonus for the north London side is that they won't even have to register Vlahovic if they sign him this month.Registering players can often be a tricky business, as Barcelona have discovered to their cost in recent months, but due to a 'transfer loophole', Arsenal needn't even bother.Even though Vlahovic turns 22 next week, he's still classed as an U21 player according to Premier League rules.This is because "an U21 player is defined as one who is under the age of 21 on 1st January in the year in which the season commences."All Premier League teams have to name 25-man squads at the start of each campaign, but clubs are allowed to include as many U21 players - who don't need to be registered - as they like.According to the rules, a maximum of 17 places in the squad can be filled by overseas players, with the remaining eight places reserved for players with 'homegrown' status.Will Dusan Vlahovic be the best striker in the Premier League if he joins Arsenal?
