Arsenal transfers: Juventus star Arthur offered to Mikel Arteta as Gunners assess January options

Arsenal have been offered the chance to sign Juventus midfielder Arthur on loan.

The Brazilian has struggled for action this season and he has started just three Serie A games during the current campaign.

As a result, the 25-year-old is keen to secure a move in January and Arsenal have emerged as an option.

Intermediaries have offered Arsenal the chance to sign Arthur on loan and the north London club are assessing their options.

The Gunners want to bring in a midfielder this month but long-term targets, such as Lyon’s Bruno Guimaraes, will be hard to sign during the current transfer window.

Arsenal are open to bringing in a midfielder on loan until the end of the season and then they could look to sign someone permanently in the summer.

Juventus would want to bring in a replacement before loaning the former Barcelona man out and the club are looking at targets of their own.
