Arsenal report: Aaron Ramsey in line for shock return - and Gunners want other Juventus stars too

Arsenal want to bring Aaron Ramsey back to the club on a free transfer next summer, according to reports.

The Wales international is out of favour at Juventus, where he has struggled for form and fitness this season.

According to Marca, Arsenal are interested in a player who made 369 appearances during his first spell in north London. 

Yet although he has won a Serie A title and a Coppa Italia over the last two and a half years, Ramsey's move to Turin has not really worked out.

The report adds that Arthur and Dejan Kulusevski are also on Arteta's radar as the Arsenal manager seeks reinforcements in the winter window.

They have already been in contact with Kulusevski's representatives and are willing to spend £25m on the Swede's signature.

Juventus want closer to £34m, but a compromise between the two parties could be struck.

They are due to face Sunderland in the League Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday, but a Covid-19 outbreak in either team's camp could put paid to that fixture.
