Arsenal look to secure transfer for Dusan Vlahovic alternative as Edu eyes 'next Memphis Depay'

Welcome to our The Arsenal Way daily news round-up.

Maybe not the first, we've definitely done transfer round-ups before, and European round-ups, so I guess in some ways it's not that new at all.

Anyway, we thought we would enter the world of football in a broad and roundabout manner for you and have some fun with some of the stories and captions doing the daily rounds.

The Gunners are handed a late January transfer blow in the pursuit of a striker to replace Dusan Vlahovic but Edu has quickly turned his attention on securing another Serie A star.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta has reportedly found his Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang replacement but faces competition from a host of European royalty.

Let's take a look at the above stories in more detail...

Real Madrid have no interest in selling Arsenal target Luka Jovic, according to Spanish outlet Marca.

The Serbian striker has failed to establish himself at the Santiago Bernabeu since arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2019 for an eye-watering £56 million.

Marca report that the Gunners are looking to sign a striker before the end of the January transfer window as it looks ever more likely that Edu misses out on Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over this. Yes, he could plug a gap until the end of the season and then you re-evaluate but Arsenal have bigger fish to fry.

Arsenal have joined the race to sign PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.

The 22-year-old has continued to impress for the Dutch side this season, having already directly contributed towards 21 goals in 28 games this season.

Foot Mercato report that Arteta's side has been handed a boost in the race to secure Gakpo's signature after Bayern Munich
