Juventus make Arsenal defender top transfer target

 

Juventus want to sign Hector Bellerin at the end of the season and the Arsenal defender is open to the move, claims The Guardian.

 

The Old Lady have made signing a new right-back a top priority in the summer as Stephan Lichtsteiner is due to leave at the end of the season when his current deal expires.


Juventus have already been heavily linked with Manchester United outcast Matteo Darmian, but Bellerin has now emerged as a top transfer target for the Serie A giants.

 

Bellerin was heavily linked with a return to Barcelona in the past but that ship looks to have sailed after the Spanish side signed Nelson Semedo from Benfica last summer.

The 22-year-old’s current Arsenal deal is not due to expire until 2022 but the Spain international is understood to be more receptive to the idea of leaving Arsenal than ever before.

 

Bellerin quickly established himself as one of the best right-backs in the Premier League during the 2015/16 campaign but his form has tailed off significantly since then.

 

Since August 2015, only three Arsenal players have registered more assists than Bellerin (10) in the Premier League.
