Arsenal lining up £34m Merih Demiral swoop?

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a £34m move for Juventus defender Merih Demiral.

The 21-year-old only joined Juve during the summer after impressing on loan at Sassuolo in the second half of last season.

Demiral has only made one Serie A appearance for the Italian champions this season, though, and his future with the Turin giants is already being called into question.

Earlier this month, it was reported that both Arsenal and Manchester United were monitoring the Turkey international ahead of potential moves during the January transfer window.

According to Calciomercato, the Gunners are now seriously considering an approach for the centre-back, who could be available for the a figure in the region of £34m.

Demiral, who has also been linked with Atletico Madrid, is said to be open to a move to either England or Spain in the upcoming transfer window.
