Arsenal have strongly entered the race for Juventus and Italy winger Federico Chiesa, who was previously thought to be close to a move to Tottenham, according to reports in his homeland.
Mikel Arteta’s side have already lined up one Italian signing this summer, with Riccardo Calafiori on his way for a medical ahead of his arrival from Bologna. However, it has now emerged that they could also sign one of his teammates from his country’s Euro 2024 squad.
Arsenal have asked for information about Chiesa, who is in the final year of his contract in Turin and has been heavily linked with Tottenham recently.
Chiesa has been holding out for the right offer this summer, thought to be keen on continuing his career at Champions League level.
While Tottenham cannot offer that this season, Arsenal can – and it seems they are set to step up their interest in the 26-year-old.
Juventus are asking for €25m to sell Chiesa, who is actually the subject of interest from three London-based clubs. In addition to Arsenal and Tottenham, the report claims Chelsea are keeping an eye on him too.
Chelsea face the same issue as Tottenham, though, in not being able to provide a platform in the 2024-25 Champions League.
