FK Partizan sporting director Ivica Iliev has backed Arsenal to sign Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic and has claimed he is technically better than Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland.
Vlahovic has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates outfit, but Fiorentina have claimed they have received no offer for the striker.
Reports in Italy they say that the Gunners have already made an offer of more than 50 million pounds, but they are not the only club interested in signing him. Juventus from Serie A are also interested in the striker.

Iliev, who has seen Vlahovic go from strength to strength at Partizan, cree the striker is destined for a top club.
“I hope, for the moment, at a club where there is not too much competition, a club that gives him space, for example, I think Arsenal is one of these clubs.
“I am waiting for the moment when he signs for a top club, for me it is normal that all the top clubs in the world want him, I think all of Europe wants him, now I hope he signs for the best club. for his career.
“He needs to choose the best place for his career because he is still very young and he has many years ahead of him to improve and become one of the biggest and best strikers in the world.”
He added:
“I always look at it and think [he’s like] Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, maybe now at this moment Haaland is physically stronger, but believe me, technically Vlahovic is the best player.”
