Arsenal are regularly pressing to sign Juventus midfielder Arturo Melo this month, according to Calciomercato.



The Gunners are keen on landing a new central midfielder after loaning out Ainsley Maitland-Niles to Roma.

Arthur has been an undisputed target for the Gunners, but they have yet to convince the Bianconeri over a deal.

They are keen on signing him on loan, but a deal largely depends on whether the Bianconeri can land a replacement.

The Serie A giants have their sights on Borussia Monchengladbach's Denis Zakaria, but are yet to make a proposal to sign him.

The Swiss is available for just £6 million in the transfer market with his contract expiring at the end of the campaign.

The Gunners are continually pressing to sign Arthur, and a deal may go through if Zakaria makes the switch to Turin.

As things stand, there is a complete stall in negotiations, but a move could go through before the transfer window closes.
