The Juventus forward was in good form last season.

Serbian winger Zoran Tosic is unconvinced that Dusan Vlahovic would dominate in the Premier League in the same way he has in Italy.

The 24-year-old has 90 goals since moving to Fiorentina in 2018, and his most recent season for Juventus saw him hit the back of the net 18 times.

As a result of his goalscoring exploits, he is regularly linked with a move to England, Arsenal often mentioned as the team that are most interested.

Tosic, who currently plays in Greece for Lamia, has 77 caps for his country, and he discussed his compatriot’s future.

He told OLBG: “Dusan Vlahovic has the potential and quality to play in the Premier League, but I'm not sure if he's capable of showing the same level of football in England as he has in Italy.

“He's been at Juventus for two, three years. I think he's improving after struggling a little bit with some injuries in the past. 

“This season, he helped Juventus to qualify for the Champions League and I'm sure he wants to achieve something with Juventus to win the league or to go far in the Champions League.

“After that, maybe he will join one of the big teams in England. But you know, most of the players who feel comfortable in one team, in a big team, they don't like to change.

“Also, the Premier League is stronger than Serie A. I would like to see him play for one of the big teams, but I'm sure he will stay at Juventus for now.”
