Arsenal have jumped into the battle for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.

Sky Italia's Gianni di Marzio reports Arsenal are ready to do battle with north London rivals Tottenham in the race for Vlahovic.

The Serbian enjoyed an excellent campaign for Fiorentina last season, netting 21 times in 37 Serie A matches, and his fine form has seen him attract interest from a host of clubs across Europe.

Tottenham have been eyeing a move for Vlahovic as a potential replacement for talisman Harry Kane, who could still be on his way out his this summer with Manchester City in hot pursuit of the wantaway England captain.

Vlahovic is also on Arsenal's radar - and they may even swoop in for him for ahead of their rivals with Kane's future no closer to being sorted.

However, both sides would have to stump up at least €60million (£50.8m) to convince Fiorentina to part ways with Vlahovic, who they are keen to tie down to a new deal.
