The links between Arsenal and Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski continue.
The 21-year old is currently playing for Juventus, but has found himself out of favour since Max Allegri returned as manager once more, and they are ready to let him go if they receive the right offer.
He has also attracted interest from the other half of North London, with Antonio Conte having identified him as a possible option as he looks to rebuild his Tottenham squad. Conte previously wanted to sign the player as a teenager when he was in charge at Chelsea.
However, it has now been claimed that there has been firm contact made between the Gunners and the Italian club.
Price could be an issue though. Juventus bought him for £30 million [plus bonuses, and will be looking to recoup much of that money. At one stage there were rumours of a swap deal involving Nicolas Pépé, but they have since been squashed after Mikel Arteta insisted the Ivorian was staying t the Emirates.
