Arsenal target opens Juve talks
Arsenal transfer target Dusan Vlahovic has confirmed that he wants to stay at Juventus.
Vlahovic has been heavily linked with a move away from Turin in recent months amid the club's financial issues.
However, the 23-year-old recently told La Gazzetta dello Sport that he has no intention to leave.
He said: "I didn’t experience it as a different summer from the others, from my point of view nothing happened.
"I have always been focused and calm, even during the tour in America, when I missed the match against AC Milan due to a physical problem. I have always been calm.
"I was always sure I wanted to stay. The noises are always there, and they are part of the game, if we start listening to everyone, we can go crazy.
"I isolated myself and only thought about the retreat and in the end I’m very happy I stayed. It was what I wanted."

The full-back was dispossessed before Matheus Cunha scored to give Wolves a glimmer of hope in their 2-1 loss.
