Arsenal are ready to make a renewed effort to convince Manuel Locatelli to move to the Emirates Stadium, with a report in the Italian media claiming that Mikel Arteta is personally keen on a deal for the Juventus star who has been described by one pundit as the best Italian midfielder at the moment.
While much has been made about Arsenal’s desperate need to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window, the case to bring in more bodies for the midfield department can also be made. Jorginho is likely to leave for Flamengo in the summer transfer window, while Thomas Partey is also out of contract at the end of the season.
