Arsenal pushing to sign Calvert-Lewin, Isak or Vlahovic before Monday's deadline
....Arsenal have entered the final week of the winter window still hoping to do considerable business. Ideally, they would like to make three additions, with centre-forward, central midfield and goalkeeper the areas earmarked for arrivals.
With their top target Dusan Vlahovic looking likely to join Serie A giants Juventus, Arsenal have turned their attention to deals for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Alexander Isak. However doing big deals in January is not easy and neither Everton nor Real Sociedad are expected to be willing to let key players leave before the summer.
With the January transfer deadline fast approaching Arsenal have a lot of work to do and the pressure is mounting the complete deals this week. If deals for Calvert-Lewin and Isak continue to prove difficult, Arsenal are expected to follow up interest in Watford striker Joshua King. The former Manchester United graduate joined from Everton in the summer on a free transfer and has scored 5 goals in 11 league appearances. Whilst a deal is thought to be difficult following Watford's recent managerial change, an offer of £20m may be enough to convince Watford who have Emmanuel Bonaventure and João Pedro as suitable replacements.
