The Italian giants want to bring a left-footed centre-back into their squad this summer and are considering a number of targets across Europe.

 

Arsenal defender Gabriel has emerged as one of their top targets following another solid season at the Emirates.

 

 

There are claims that the Gunners could consider letting him go if they receive the right offer and Juventus are now considering making a move for him.

 

According to Turin-based daily Tuttosport, the Serie A giants are considering offering Arthur in a swap deal to Arsenal for Gabriel.

 

 

The Brazilian midfielder was on Arsenal’s radar in January but they failed to work out an agreement with Juventus for his signature.

 

Juventus are prepared to sell him and Arsenal are again believed to be interested in getting their hands on Arthur.

 

 

The Serie A giants are plotting to use Arsenal’s interest in the midfielder in order to secure a deal to sign Gabriel.

 

It remains to be seen if Arsenal would be receptive to such a deal even if they are open to selling the defender.
