Vlahovic and Lautaro Martinez on Arsenal watchlist for summer window | OneFootball

Inter and Juventus strikers Lautaro Martinez and Dusan Vlahovic are both reportedly on Arsenal’s list of potential summer signings as Mikel Arteta’s side look to strengthen with the addition of a ‘top quality’ centre-forward during the next transfer window.

It is no secret that Arsenal are on the hunt for a new striker ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. The North Londoners have lacked an out-and-out striker for the past two campaigns, and now have to deal with injuries to both Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, who have often featured as false nines.

Inter and Juventus strikers on Arsenal watchlist

According to reports from Calciomercato.com, both Lautaro Martinez and Vlahovic are strikers that Arsenal have followed at various points of the 2024-25 season.

The latter is out of favour and in line to leave Juventus at the end of the current campaign, and could be available for a reduced fee given that he will be entering the final year of his contract in the summer.

Lautaro Martinez, however, is contracted to Inter until the summer of 2029, and given he is the captain and enjoys a strong relationship with the club, its staff and supporters, luring him away from San Siro is expected to be a difficult task.

Neither are Arsenal’s top priority for the summer, however, as Calcioemrcato claims that Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha of RB Leipzig and Wolverhampton Wanderers are the Gunners’ first choice options.
