With their Champions League campaign potentially their only route to silverware this season, strengthening the attack is a priority.
As reported by Fichajes, Arsenal are considering a move for Vlahovic, who has not had the most consistent spell at Juventus.
The Serbian striker has a contract with the Italian club until the summer of 2026, and the Old Lady are reportedly ready to sell him for a fee between £42.6 million and £51 million.
The Gunners are believed to be in a strong financial position and could comfortably afford this sum for the 25-year-old.
