Arsenal chiefs will sit down with their Juventus counterparts on Monday for further transfer talks over a January loan for Arthur Melo, according to reports in Italy.

The Gunners have been pursuing the Brazil international for almost two weeks with Mikel Arteta keen to add a new face in midfield ahead of the second half of the season.
