Report: Arsenal resume interest in Juve defender

According to reports, Unai Emery has added Daniele Rugani to his ever-growing list of defensive targets – with Juventus reportedly willing to let him go.

The Gunners had been linked with the centre-half last year, but no official bid was launched.

Juve’s new manager, Maurizio Sarri is now set to offload a host of stars, with Rugani a likely casualty.

Arsenal have already targeted St Etienne ace William Saliba – and appear to have a sealed a £27million deal.

Daniele Rugani could be on his way out of Juve

But Emery is now desperate to bring in further reinforcements for his backline, particularly after club captain Laurent Koscielny refused to join the team in pre-season.

Koscielny’s strike is seen as a way for the Frenchman to force a move out of The Emirates.

Meanwhile, Calum Chambers and Shkodran Mustafi’s futures remain uncertain.
