Arsenal are reportedly prepared to take on Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea in the race to sign Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is a huge admirer of the former Manchester United man and is keen to bring him back to the Premier League, according to The Express.

However, Arsenal face stiff competition for Pogba's signature from City, who are said to be ready to smash their transfer record to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.

Pogba is tied to a long-term contract at Juve, meaning that the Serie A giants could demand as much as £40m should they decide to sell him.
