Arsenal to turn to Isak; know buyout clause

Arsenal are ready to move onto alternatives as talks for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic stall.

The London Evening Standard says the Gunners want to sign a forward before the transfer window shuts next Monday and Fiorentina striker Vlahovic has been their No1 target.

But there are increasing doubts over whether Arsenal can convince Vlahovic to move to the Premier League, with the 21-year-old Serbia international keen to join Juventus according to reports in Italy.

Arsenal are considering other striking targets, including Alexander Isak, Jonathan David (Lille) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton).

Of those, Real Sociedad striker Isak appears the easiest deal to complete in the next seven days given he has a release clause in his contract believed to be worth £75million.

Isak has scored eight goals in 25 appearances this season for a Real Sociedad side that sit sixth in LaLiga.

There has been talk that Real Madrid's Luka Jovic has been offered to Arsenal on loan but sources close to the player insisted on Monday morning that there had been no contact from the Gunners.
