Gunners also keep an eye on Andrea Cambiaso
Meanwhile, Arsenal are also keeping an eye on Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso. Miles Lewis-Skelly has been linked with a move from Arsenal due to a lack of playing time. If he moves on, they will need to replace him.
Having a specialist at left-back would be ideal for them. Cambiaso is a star player for Juventus. However, he needs guarantees of game appearances and may not want to join Arsenal as a squad player. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal are ready to give him a defined role in the starting line-up. There is no doubt that he is more than capable in the Premier League and could help Arsenal develop on both sides of the pitch.
Cambiaso has also been linked with a move to Liverpool.
Palestra and Cambiaso could add a new dimension to Arsenal’s squad if they join the club. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
