Spanish striker to turn down Arsenal move?
Spanish striker Alvaro Morata is likely to snub a move to Arsenal during this summer's transfer window, La Stampa reports.
The 29-year-old is currently in his second season on loan at Juventus from Atletico Madrid. They have the option to buy him for £25m.
However, the Bianconeri are reluctant to pay over £12.5m and this has led to suggestions that the Gunners could prise him away this summer.
The Gunners are prepared to meet the £25m valuation, but Morata does not appear keen on the prospect of returning to the Premier League.
The Spaniard had a disappointing two-year stint with Chelsea previously, and does not fancy another experience in the English top-flight.
Morata would ideally prefer to continue with Juventus, but the Serie A outfit must make an improved offer to convince Atletico into a sale.
Juventus boss Massimilliano Allegri is happy with the striker's involvement, but the board are aiming to pursue him on a cheaper deal this summer.
