Arsenal, Manchester United 'monitoring Merih Demiral'

Juventus centre-back Merih Demiral is a transfer target for Arsenal and Manchester United, according to a report.

Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United are both reportedly monitoring Juventus defender Merih Demiral ahead of the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old only joined Juve from Sassuolo during the summer after impressing on loan at I Neroverdi in the second half of the 2018-19 season.

The Turkey international has made just one Serie A appearance for Maurizio Sarri's side this season, though, and according to Bleacher Report, he will be open to leaving the club in the January transfer window.

The same report claims that both Arsenal and United are interested, although the pair will face a battle to convince the Italian champions to sell the 6 ft 3 in defender.

Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici recently claimed that United wanted to sign Demiral during the summer transfer window, while AC Milan were also credited with an interest.

Despite making just one appearance this season, the Turk has been included in every matchday squad since arriving at the Juventus Stadium.
