Even deals that appear relatively straightforward can take unexpected turns and mean that they’re not completed in time.

A striker of some standing despite being just 21 years of age, he would be a perfect replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who clearly has no future in North London.

According to Sky Sports, Vlahovic wasn’t in the squad for Fiorentina’s trip to Cagliari, but before Arsenal supporters get too excited, it was because the striker had tested positive for coronavirus.
