Popular transfer expert confirms Arsenal interest in this Juventus midfielder

Arsenal are still interested in Arthur Melo, who they hope to sign from Juventus this month, according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Romano, in a statement last week, claimed that the North London club are looking at a possible deal to bring the 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder to England this month as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad.

Arthur’s pending departure from Juventus is owing to the fact that he has seen his playing time at the club to be somewhat restricted this season.

So far this season, the Brazilian midfielder has made only four starts in Italian Serie A.

Romano, in a latest update on Arsenal’s interest in Arthur, claimed that the Gunners have decided to follow up their pursuit of the midfielder

In a post via his Twitter handle, Romano said: “There’s still nothing agreed for Arthur Melo deal. Next week will be key – Arsenal have decided to push again with Juventus, loan move not approved yet by Allegri.

“Juve board have not opened talks with Chelsea for Loftus Cheek as potential Arthur replacement, as of now.”
