Italian outlet TuttoSport claim Arsenal are ‘top of the list’ for Juventus star Paulo Dybala. The Argentine ace has been linked with multiple Premier League clubs this summer, but Arsenal are leading the race to get him.

Dybala, 28, has been brilliant for Juventus over the last seven years, clocking up just nine games shy of a huge 300. In that time he has scored a huge 115 goals, and laid on 48 assists in that time. But he is out of contract.

He will be leaving on Juventus on a free transfer this summer, and it is has been widely reported that Inter want him to replace Lautaro Martinez – if the latter goes. But a move to the Premier League is also tempting.

Tottenham are also keen, with Spurs said to have made a £222k-a-week offer. But the latest report from Tuttosport states that if Arsenal finish in fourth, then the Gunners will be ‘top of the list’. A potentially huge coup, for Arsenal.

Arsenal ‘top of list’ for Dybala: Brilliant signing, but Nketiah goes

Realistically, if Arsenal do sign Dybala, it will be with another striker signing. Gabriel Jesus of Manchester City continues to be linked. So, if Dybala and Jesus do join, the chances are that Nketiah will say goodbye.

Rightly so, if they can get in Dybala and Jesus. The latter has already shown he is proven in the Premier League and is still young. Dybala is a mercurial player and one that will galvanise a fanbase. Arsenal are moving forward.
