Good morning Arsenal fans
Juventus have reportedly launched a bid for Man Utd target Denis Zakaria – and that could pave the way for Arsenal to finally land Arthur Melo.
Fabrizio Romano said: “Juventus are pushing to sign Denis Zakaria immediately.
“Talks ongoing with Borussia Monchengladbach and Zakaria’s new agents in the last few hours.
“Meeting taking place now for Denis Zakaria-Juventus deal. Club confident to complete the agreement while Zakaria is keen on the move.
“Juve need at least one midfielder to leave in the next hours. Rodrigo Bentancur or Arthur Melo, as things stand.”
Meanwhile, Tottenham have reportedly joined Arsenal in the race to lure Douglas Luiz away from Aston Villa.
The Gunners have been linked with a swoop for the Brazilian midfielder after failing to nab Bruno Guimaraes.
But according to the Daily Mail, their North London rivals are now in the hunt to sign the 23-year-old.
They state that Spurs are preparing a £32million bid for the ex-Manchester City man.
Finally, Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno will reportedly remain at the Emirates this month.
The German shot-stopper has been linked with a move to Newcastle with Aaron Ramsdale the No1 choice in North London.
But Sky Sport reporter Florian Plettenberg has declared that he will be staying until at least the summer.
He tweeted: “He [Leno] won’t leave @Arsenal in winter, decision confirmed.
“A transfer in summer is more likely. #NUFC still with good chances if they stay in the PL.”
