Paper Talk: Juve enter race for Arsenal star; one out, two in at West Ham

Juventus are hot on the trail of an Arsenal defender, while David Moyes could be about to ditch West Ham’s underperforming record signing, according to Friday’s papers.

JUVENTUS HOT ON THE TRAIL OF ARSENAL DEFENDER

Serie A champions Juventus are reportedly hot on the trail of Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin.

Bellerin has started every Premier League for the Gunners this season, having been the subject of intense transfer speculation throughout the summer as Barcelona eyed a move for the Spaniard.

However, TuttoMercatoWeb now claims that Juve have entered the race for the 22-year-old.

The Italian giants lost Dani Alves last summer and have not yet replaced the Brazil international, prompting them to move for Bellerin.

There has been speculation that the Gunners star was looking for a fresh challenge, having been at Arsenal since 2011, but that was more likely to be a return to Spain than a move elsewhere.

However, should Juve come calling it could prove difficult for Bellrin to turn down – particuarly with the future of undre-pressure Gunners boss Arsene Wenger up in the air and the club set to lose their two highest profile names in Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
