Juventus Wants Arsenal to Pay for Vucinic, Says No to a Loan Deal.

Juventus has told Arsenal to either
buy Mirko Vucinic or forget about any
option of a loan deal.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said at his
pre-game pres conference ahead of their
FA Cup third-round tie with Tottenham
Hotspur the club will only look out for a
striker in the current transfer market,
should Nicklas Bendtner’s injury situation
fail to improve.

The Gunners are presently without a
recognised “centre-forward” as Olivier
Giroud nurses a slight sickness despite
showing signs of improvement on his
ankle injury. Wenger will be counting on
the services of the returning Lukas
Podolski and Theo Walcott for Saturday’s
game against Spurs.



Representatives from the Premier League
leaders met with Juve’s general manager
Beppe Marrota over the New Year as the
Turin-based outfit considers offloading the
striker, according to a report on Mirror
Sport.

The club, who has dropped to the Europa
League for the rest of the season, says
they won’t loan Vucinic.
They’ve slapped an £8m price tag on the
striker, who is also being touted by
Arsenal’s North London rivals Tottenham
Hotspur.
