Arsenal ‘still remains’ an option for defender – Player ‘more and more convinced’ about leaving club

Ask Arsenal fans what position they think the club should strengthen in January, and the centre of defence is likely to be at the top of the list.

The arrival of David Luiz in the summer has not helped improve the Gunners defensively, and some extra help is needed.

One player they looked at during the summer transfer window was Juventus’ Daniele Rugani, with reports they were willing to pay €30m for the centre back.

That may be interest they want to revive in the January transfer with Il Bianconero reporting that he may be available.

The defender is yet to make an appearance under Maurizio Sarri this season, and he is ‘more and more convinced’ to ask for a sale.

Arsenal were among his suitors in the summer, and the website say that interest ‘still remains’ should he become available.

There’s no mention of an asking price, or whether Juventus would be open to a sale, just that Arsenal is an option for him should be available to move in January.
