Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Vlahovic £88m bid ‘ACCEPTED’, Thomas Partey RETURNING, Aubameyang return reason revealed
ARSENAL have had a £66.6m bid for Dusan Vlahovic accepted, according to reports from Italy.
And with add-ons, that fee could rise to £88m.
But it is believed the Serb may yet choose to stay at Fiorentina for another season before joining Juventus on a free transfer in 2023.
Meanwhile Thomas Partey is joining Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in an early return from AFCON after his Ghana team were dumped out of the group stage following a shock defeat to Comoros.
Partey’s return will be a major boost for the Gunners threadbare midfield.
Ex-captain Aubameyang is on his way back to Arsenal after leaving the Gabon camp at Africa Cup of Nations.
The Gabonese FA claimed that they had discovered “cardiac lesions” when they checked Aubameyang’s recovery last Friday and he will now be assessed by Gunners medics.
And the ex-Arsenal skipper dismissed ‘false rumours’ he left the Gabon squad due to indiscipline.
The Gunners striker did not feature in either of Gabon’s first two group games at the Africa Cup of Nations after testing positive for Covid upon arrival in Cameroon.
And Gabon’s manager said the North Londoners were insistent he return as they were unable to perform an MRI scan in the AFCON camp.
Finally Juventus have reportedly identified Lyon’s Bruno Guimaraes as their replacement for Arsenal target Arthur Melo.
