Former Gunner Aaron Ramsey could join Spurs on loan next season.
The former Arsenal midfielder moved to Juventus on a free transfer last summer, but he has had a mixed time under Maurizio Sarri, and has been in and out of the side, although injury problems have hampered his progress in Turin.
And now the Italian champions may be looking to move him on after just a year as they look for ways to lower their wage bill, with Spurs amongst the clubs tracking his situation.
His £400,000 a week salary may be a stumbling block, but there are suggestions that Juventus as open to paying part of his wages as part of any loan deal, or to reduce the size of the transfer fee in the case of a permanent deal.
Ramsey spent 11 years at Arsenal, and scored the winner for them in two FA Cup Finals, but left them after he was unable to agree terms on a new deal with them.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
