Mirko Vucinic’s agent has reportedly been in England to hold talks with Arsenal and Manchester United over a possible transfer this summer, according to Sky Sport 24.

The 27-year-old, who netted 11 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions for Roma last season, is believed to be unhappy at the lack of first-team opportunities at the Serie A club and is reportedly keen to secure a move way from the Stadio Olimpico this summer.

The Montenegro international has been linked with Liverpool, Tottenham and Blackpool in the past, but it would appear that the striker would favour a move to either United or Arsenal this summer. However, both Premier League clubs could be put off by the hefty £26 million price-tag.

The Gunners are thought to be in the market for a striker this summer, but surely Vucinic, considering his age and especially his price-tag, is not the way to go – would be a waste of money in my view.

What do you guys think – Should Arsenal splash out a reported £26 million for Vucinic, or are there better options out there?

    Why do you waste everyones’ time with such pointless articles and questions?

    ok..for me waste of money,base on his age. Better we use that sort of money for benzema if we really wanted for a one time expensive player. His still young and on level with vucinic, means he can develop further with time on his side. or we just spend that 16 or 17 fee and go buy cahill (coz i think samba a done deal), half of it we can keep for other purpose. So we would have samba and cahill altogather..

    All i can do is loool at this article wot a load of ***t. Firstly blackpool 26 mill? No chance. Wenger 26 mill on any player?… I’ll let u, my fellow gooners decided! Lool

  • afc_fan says:

    Not worth discussing as this is not even remotely going to happen at that type of fee. Even if Roma are interested in Clichy and he’s part of any deal they’d have to come off their fee for Vucinic.

    This has to be a none starter…..£26 mil’ could buy Benzema, Falcao or Higuain. “I” could get 11 goals in 50+ games lmao….

    reo-coker is free why arsenal sign him he is good player and back up for midfield defense area .

  • Arsenal1Again says:

    Providing he’ll accept wages of 120k per week I think he’ll be an awesome addition to the squad of time wasters we already have. With customary fashion, we can discover he’s made of glass and will play only 7 games a season.
