Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are ready to make a move for Dejan Kulusevski, according to Tuttosport, but The Athletic’s report regarding Tottenham Hotspur suggests that Antonio Conte’s side are now a major threat to the Gunners.
Tuttosport have reported that Arsenal are interested in signing Kulusevski from Juventus in the January transfer window.
The Gunners are reportedly ready to make a move for the winger, but the North London club want him only on a loan deal.
Arsenal, though, are now facing competition from bitter North London rivals Tottenham for Kulusevski.
The Athletic have reported that Tottenham are now working on a deal with Juventus to secure the services of Kulusevski, who cost the Italian giants £37 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Atalanta (Sky Sports).
Well-known and well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Juventus want an ‘obligation to buy’ clause in any loan deal for Kulusevski.
Arsenal and Tottenham need to pay for Dejan Kulusevski
In our view, Juventus should not just let Kulusevski leave on loan for Arsenal or Tottenham in the January transfer window.
The Bianconeri should get some of guarantee that they will get a decent transfer fee for the Sweden international winger, either now or in the summer of 2022.
Kulusevski has made five starts and 15 substitute appearances in Serie A so far this season, scoring one goal and providing three assists in the process.
