3. Loan deal possible

A loan deal for Vucinic would suit Arsenal more than the permanent one. The availability of Arsenal’s top striker targets this January is questionable, and with the World Cup coming up, most of them would be reluctant to move to a new club. Given that fact, it may be in Arsenal’s best interest to sign the Montenegrin forward on a loan deal till the end of the season.

Juventus are reportedly seeking a fee in the region of £8.2m, and are looking for permanent deals only, which could be a stumbling block for the deal to happen. However, if Arsenal are able to convince Juventus to sanction a loan deal, it would be just the sort of deal that could provide Arsenal with sufficient depth in the squad to see off the challenges of Manchester City and Chelsea in the race for the title.
