Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are leading the race for Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski, according to CM.

Italian news outlet CM has claimed that Arsenal are now in pole position to sign Kulusevski.

Juventus are reportedly open to selling the 21-year-old, who can also operate as a midfielder, and want €35 million (£29.37m) as transfer fee.

It was only this week that La Stampa in Italy reported that Tottenham Hotspur are in pole position for Kulusevski.

Would Dejan Kulusevski make Arsenal better?

In our opinion, Kulusevski would be a good signing for Arsenal in the January transfer window.

The Sweden international is only 21, and we think that he is going to get better and grow in the coming years.

Now, Kulusevski has not been a great success at Juventus so far.

The 21-year-old has made four starts and 12 substitute appearances in Serie A so far this season.

Kulusevski has given three assists in those games.

During the 2020-21 campaign, the Juventus winger made 19 starts and 16 substitute appearances in the league.

Kulusevski scored four goals and gave three assists in those games.

However, that Juventus signed Kulusevski from Parma in 2020 in the first place shows how highly he is thought of.
