Juventus to offer £5million in January for Arsenal target

Juventus will offer £5m for Arsenal target Fernando Llorente in January, according to reports in Italy.

The Athletic Bilbao striker is a wanted man and although manager Marcelo Bielsa insists he does not want to sell him in January, the feeling is that Llorente could be on his way next month.

And Juventus' Champions League success - when they topped a group including Chelsea and Shakhtar Donetsk - has given them a financial boost, meaning they can meet Bilbao's demands.

That is likely to spell the end of Arsenal's hopes of signing the 27-year-old, who played a vital role as Bilbao reached last season's Europa League Final.

And, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, it seems certain that Llorente will be moving to Turin ahead of the resumption of the Champions League next year.
