Dejan Kulusevski has been put up for sale by Juventus in what looks like a boost to Arsenal, according to the latest update on Gazette Dello Sport.
Kulusevski to Arsenal?
Arsenal are said to be chasing the Juve winger ahead of the January transfer window, and there is a potential for the deal to happen.
That is because Juve are apparently open to the idea of cashing in on the 21-year-old in the new year for around £30 million.
Arsenal’s interest in the forward has been widely reported and they are mentioned again in the latest update.
Indeed, Juve are now set to meet with Kulusevski’s agent this week to discuss the player’s future.
If Arsenal were to sign Kulusevski in the new year then it could certainly be £30 million well spent by Mikel Arteta’s side.
The rangy winger has impressed in Italian football, although his form this season has stalled slightly – which may be part of the reason why Juve aren’t against a sale.
Kulusevski is yet to register a goal in 16 league games for Juve, but he has previously been a frequent scorer despite his tender years.
If he was to arrive at Arsenal, it would surely spell the end for some of Mikel Arteta’s current squad too.
Nicolas Pepe’s game time would surely be immediately reduced even further, and it would also throw up question marks over how much time Gabriel Martinelli would get on the pitch.
Kulusevski would fit in with the current plans at Arsenal, in the sense that he is young and with bundles of potential though.
And if he was to arrive at the Emirates Stadium he would have to be seen as an exciting addition to their squad.
