Arsenal eyeing Dusan Vlahovic alternative
Arsenal are prepared to move on from the attempts to sign Dusan Vlahovic and have already identified an alternative.
According to AS, via Sport Witness, Espanyol star Raul de Tomas is now in their sights.
The chances of bringing Vlahovic to the Emirates this month look slim with Mikel Arteta desperate to bring in a striker this month.
The report goes on to state that De Tomas has already been scouted by Arsenal and has been on the club’s wish list for some time.
Furthermore, the Spaniard fits Arteta’s perfect liking for a forward but no official bid has been made yet.
The 27-year-old has a £59m (€70m) release clause, it is unlikely that Espanyol would demand that much, while the Madrid-born star has 12 goals in 21 La Liga appearances this season.
