Arsenal Agree Deal to Juventus Striker Vucinic according to Insidefutbol
Vucinic is due in London tomorrow for talks with the Gunners and should take a medical with English club.
Montenegro international will come on a loan deal to help strengthen his attacking options for the rest of the current campaign.
Vucinic finished last season as Juventus’s joint top scorer in Serie A action, scoring 14 goals in all competitions, but the arrival of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente, from Man City and Athletic Bilbao respectively, last summer have severely restricted his involvement in Antonio Conte’s plans.
The former AS Roma man has started just four Serie A matches this term and is seen by Wenger as a replacement for injured England man Theo Walcott and a marksman who can ably support Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski and Nicklas Bendtner in the Arsenal attack.

Chelsea target French International Keeper as Thibaut Courtois Replacement.
Chelsea are ready to target Marseille custodian Steve Mandanda as a replacement for young Belgian Thibaut Courtois according to Sports Direct News.
Read more Chelsea transfer news.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho is ready to sell talented 21 year old Courtois to Atletico Madrid on a permanent basis, having spent three loan seasons at the Vicente Calderon side, and will then look to experienced French international Mandanda as the man to challenge Petr Cech for the starting spot at Stamford Bridge.
Mandanda is not a keeper who is used to playing second fiddle and one wonders if the 28 year old Zaire born star will be happy to warm the bench at the West London club though he could perhaps have the confidence to unseat Cech, a feat that will be hard to pull off given the Czech Republic international’s consistent displays.
Steve Mandanda has spent six and a half seasons as a virtual ever present at the Stade Velodrome, making 250 appearances for Marseille and earning himself 16 French national team caps.
Didier Deschamps is certain to select Mandanda as part of his 2014 World Cup finals squad.

Liverpool agreed a deal to sign Yevhen Konoplyanka according to Daily Mirror journalist David Anderson.
The Anfield side are set to pay €18m (£14.8m) for the Dnipro wide-man, who Brendan Rodgers will look to bring in before the transfer window closes on Friday night.
Konoplianka is a goal-scoring wide-man who would offer Rodgers a direct attacking weapon and is perhaps seen as a viable January addition in view of the lack of impact made by loaned in wide-man Victor Moses and recent signing Iago Aspas.
Konoplianka has scored 33 goals in 157 appearances for Dnipro, the club the fleet footed attacker has represented since the age of 16.
