DUSAN VLAHOVIC has completed his Juventus move after rejecting Arsenal to seal a £62million deal from Fiorentina.
The Serbian striker was one of the Gunners’ top targets this month, as a replacement for the exiled Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The 22-year-old would have been offered a huge salary and add-on incentives to seal a move to Mikel Arteta’s side.
But he has snubbed a switch to North London to join the Italian giants and become their next superstar forward.
Vlahovic’s move to Juventus also includes around £6m in add-ons, including goal bonuses and appearance fees.
He has scored 20 goals in 24 appearances already this season and is one of the hottest strikers in world football at present.
Arsenal will have to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcements ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline day.
The Gunners were linked with PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo, who has also attracted interest from Liverpool.

However, that didn’t work out either as Gakpo has put pen to paper on a new contract with PSV.
That is why the North Londoners have turned their attention to other targets, like Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Premier League giants are willing to splash the cash for Osimhen but the Partenopei rate him in the region of €70m (£58m).
