Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners Plotting Swoop For Stevan Jovetic?

Express. The Yugoslavian has also attracted interest from Manchester City, though they have since distanced themselves from the player. Wenger has been contemplating bringing in a new forward at the Emirates and has been linked with moves for the likes of David Villa of Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente. And despite the fact that the club have tied down Theo Walcott to a new, long-term deal on a £90,000-per-week contract, the Frenchman believes he still needs extra firepower if his side are to qualify for the Champions League for a 16th straight season. Arsenal are currently outside the top four of the Premier League, and sit four points off Tottenham Hotspur having won just one of their last four league games. Italian football site Football Italia are reporting that Arsenal are plotting a £20 million bid for Jovetic's services, despite the fact that Fiorentina have previously warned any suitors off their player by insisting that the 23-year old is not for sale, even though they have signed Guiseppe Rossi from La Liga outfit Villarreal. Juventus are also said to be admirers of Jovetic but have had offers for the striker repeatedly rejected.
