Mikel Arteta is adamant the best players in the world are keen to join Arsenal as the north London club continue their pursuit of the Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.
Arsenal are keen to add Vlahovic, who has 18 months left on his contract with the Serie A club, to their ranks, but there are questions over his desire to join Arsenal when Champions League football is not guaranteed.
Arteta, though, believes their pulling power is undiminished. 'Historically this club has always been targeting the best players in the world and the best players in the world are always interested to come here and I can say that situation hasn’t changed,' he said.
