Arsenal increase bid to land Viola star
Arsene Wenger, looking to bolster his attacking depth over the transfer period, sees the Viola starlet as the perfect summer signing for the Gunners.
A report in La Nazione suggests the Gunners are ready to bid €28 million for the 23-year-old Montenegrin international, who has 12 goals from 27 Serie A appearances this season for the Viola.
Arsenal will need to fight off other Premier League clubs, to land Jovetic in north London, as the young stars stocks continue to rise.
Signed in 2008, Jovetic has since gone on to represent the Florence club 112 times in Serie A, becoming a pivotal part of Vincezo Montella’s side.
Fiorentina, who sit fourth on the standings with 61 points, are just outside of Champions League qualification spot, a competition the Montenegrin is desperate to play in.
