I think our name is being used here. Inter seems the likeliest destination.

Im not sure Inters owners would want to put out the money required, & also that they'd sign him as well as Dzeko.
I think Sp**s are the main rivals if I'm honest, & they are certainly more decisive than us while we monitor or prepare.
As in a "you either sign with us or you end up at Arsenal" sort of way?

Well this just lets us know we're not getting him, the length and reasoning. Has there been any player in the past that appears to meet several requirements and seemed liked they could suit us - that we actually got?Hoping there's something serious in this rumor because the manager we get after Arteta is gone will have a gem on his hands.
Those who think Dusan is only a big, strong limited target man are very wrong in my humble opinion.
He's well rounded, has a solid technique, he's still very, very young, and has shown so much potential already.
He carried Fiorentina so hard last season. At the age of 20/21. That's a historic club with a lot of pressure, in a very turbulent period who has just let their biggest star, Chiesa, leave for Juventus.
Huge pressure on him. Last season was anything but a good season for Fiorentina. And he pulled them through at many times.
Look at both of these screenshots from Whoscored.com and the Tweet after.

His Player goal/Team goals over the entire season was at 45%! He's 21!
Still, he can and will improve on many aspects.
Those comparing to Zlatan or such are a bit too optimistic atm. Dusan doesn't - yet - posses that kind of technique and dribbling skills, but he posseses plenty other skills. Zlatan is a fan though.
What makes me think he will take his career further up regardless is this:
(Clearly he thinks he's Zlatan 2.0 too) but his work ethic is in place. He works hard in games, and outside of games. He is confident - he had him in his own fantasy team and when socring a hat-trick he commented that he was going to score a lot of points-
He's shown promise of being able to add to his game, and with that sort of confidence and edge that a top striker needs, and still having what seems to be his head in the right place you can take your 1.9m body to great heights. Tbh. I do, similar to some of these reports I read on him, see similarities to Kane in Dusan. The style, the movements. He doesn't dive as much luckily and Dusan's dialect isn't as ****ed, but he seems to be able to spread play out well, and I could see Dusan drop deep similar to what Kane did so devastatingly for England during the Euros.
As is probably evident by now, I have a lot of time for this kid, and think we would do a great deal with him - also for around 50M. It's rare that I back someone this hard, but having seen many of Fiorentina's extremely dreadful games the past season (about as dreadful as most of ours tbh) I see a lot of aspects of Dusan that is missed in compilations or in generic reports found. I can't completely put my finger on it (no more than I already have I suppose) I just feel he has it. Think he can really turn big, and would fit in well as the striker with the players we would have around him.

Is he our next option? seems Italy wants to throw money on Abraham for some weird reason.
If he's a targetman then I'm all in, we need something for our cross and hope approach.

Idk if he's like really good or not, but I like his vibe, he has a strong aura, he is an Aquarius after all!

No, we sacked all of the scouts so that SkyNet can run all of the big data for us. The plan is to win at least one CL before the robots rise up and kill us all.

My wife and I were considering visiting the area if we ever visit Croatia as there's the option to take a day trip to the national park near there.Looking forward to that bid.

Gives you vibes he won't flop tbh, he looks like a quick physical beast with the same mentality as Haaland, reckons he's the best on the pitch. Exactly what you want from a striker.
Yeah, that's the comparison I see. I don't get why people say he is like Giroud. He is no slouch. Also is much better in the air than Haaland. I would go for him over Abraham.
Country: England
Yeah agreed. I’ve only watched YouTube clips but he looks like he has the qualities defenders absolutely hate, quick and strong while relishing the physical part. Left foot worries me and his price tag is a huge risk but we’ve spunked money before let’s do it again.

His all round creative numbers and in particular his passing numbers are very poor and it's always going to be a gamble going for a one season striker.
Agree with what others have said though. This is one where the eye test feels like a better judge. Some of his goals and movement have that instinctual quality to them with a range of finishes that remind me of the very best strikers. Together with his physical traits and what looks like a top mentality and he could develop into a massive player.
If we go for this, people will need a bit of patience though, he's not the finished article. If he had a slow start or a goal drought you'd hear all the donkey stuff coming out pretty quickly.

Gooners talk did a break down and compared him to Abraham. All of Abraham's successful shots occur in the 6 yard box. What do we create in that area? Vlahovic is able to inside the box, but closer to the 18 yard line. He has much better shooting technique and scores a lot from the left going across the keeper. So I wouldn't worry about his left foot. Seems to have that mentality to develop his right foot also.
40 million + Torreira may do it. I don't think we will go for him though. We are at the stage of the window where we are being reactive and opportunistic. We are waiting to see what happens in the market and who becomes available. Literally shown by having no back up keeper by the start of the season. A position where we don't even need a player to leave to fill.
Abraham isn't the finished article either. When you consider we barely create anything I reckon the Chelsea reject chants would come out pretty quick.
Also I would associate someone who is slow with being a donkey. I reckon Vlahovic actually have the strength to knock a defender back and power into the box would be a shock to the system or Arsenal fans since we are used to our centre forward not being able to move.
Lukaku is left footed?
