Late Arsenal swoop for Federico Chiesa still possible

Arsenal remain interested in a deal to sign Federico Chiesa, according to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Since former Bologna manager Thiago Motta was announced as new Juventus boss, it became clear that Italy international forward Federico Chiesa was not included in his plans for the upcoming season 2024/25.

There have been strong reports recently linking Chiesa with a move to FC Barcelona. It now seems unlikely though that a potential transfer involving the two parties will materialise. Other clubs like Spurs & Chelsea have also reportedly shown an interest in the 26-year-old.

Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport now reports that Arsenal are among the teams keen on making a late move for Chiesa.

The pacey winger's contract at Juventus expires next summer & the Turin club are reportedly open to sell the player for as little as £13m.
