Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski is being linked with a January move to Arsenal.
The 21-year old Dejan Kulusevski came through the Atalanta youth system before joining Parma on loan. In January 2020 he signed for Juventus on a four and a half year deal, for a fee of around £30 million, and, although he sent the second half of that season back on loan with Parma, he returned to Turin that summer.
Last season he made 47 appearances for Juventus in all competitions, but he has fallen out of favour since Max Allegri returned to the club as manager, and now they are looking to offload him.
It has been suggested that he could be offered in a swap with Nicolas Pépé, Arsenal’s record signing, whose own future at the Emirates is in considerable doubt. Juventus though would prefer cash as they look to reinforce their own squad.
