Arsenal have reportedly emerged as one of the frontrunners to sign Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski.

The 21-year-old has endured a frustrating period since the return of Massimiliano Allegri, being reduced to four starts and 17 substitute appearances in all competitions.

At a time when Juventus are keen to boost their financial position in January, the Sweden international has emerged as a natural candidate to depart the Turin-based club.

The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both been linked with an approach for the playmaker at the midway point of the campaign.

According to Calciomercato, the Gunners are ahead of their North London rivals as they contemplate improving their first-team squad.

While Juventus are said to be waiting for an acceptable offer, it is suggested that they will be prepared to consider bids in the region of £30m.
