The Juventus star is a target for both Everton and Arsenal, according to reports.

News emanating from Italy this morning suggests that Juventus have slapped a €20 million (£17.7 million) price-tag on the head of Toffees and Gunners target Mario Lemina, according to Italian media outlet TuttoSport.

The 23-year-old has found it hard to establish himself with the Old Lady, since joining the Italian champions in the summer of 2016. He made just eight league starts last season, and with the wealth of talent at Massimiliano Allegri’s disposal in the midfield department, he is unlikely to receive more game-time next term.

And TuttoSport report that the Gabon international is keen on a move to England, with both Everton and Arsenal heavily interested in signing him.

The media outlet claim that the Bianconeri will accept offers of around £17.7 million for the talented midfielder, and neither of the aforementioned clubs should be put off by that amount.

Ronald koeman has already splashed the cash at Goodsion Park this summer, whilst Arsene Wenger has been linked with some of Europe’s hottest talents.

Lemina is certainly a very good player, but whether he is better than what both managers already have at their disposal is doubtful to say the least.

It will be one to keep a close eye on, nevertheless.
