Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has reportedly emerged as a priority transfer target for Juventus.

While the Spaniard is regarded as a key player at the Emirates Stadium, injuries have restricted the 25-year-old to just 42 appearances in all competitions over the past two seasons.

Although the right-back still has three years left on his contract, speculation persists regarding his long-term future at the Gunners.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are prepared to test Arsenal's resolve, aware that there may be the possibility of negotiating a deal for the player.

However, the report suggests that the Premier League side are not prepared to budge on their €30m (£26.91m) asking price, a fee which may be deemed too high for the Italian champions in the current market.

Ajax's Sergino Dest has allegedly been identified as a slightly cheaper alternative to Bellerin.
