Arsenal have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Arthur Melo after Juventus submitted a transfer bid for a potential replacement.
But the Gunners' Arthur hopes could be dashed if the Bianconeri sell another midfielder, Rodrigo Bentancur, to Premier League rivals Aston Villa.
Juve want to ship out one of the two players before Monday's 11pm deadline but are unlikely to let both go, having not yet secured Borussia Monchengladbach 's Denis Zakaria.
