Arsenal have identified Juventus star Arthur Melo who is currently on-loan at Liverpool as a potential Youri Tielemans alternative for the summer transfer window. football.london reported in the summer of 2022, before the transfer window closed, that Arsenal were prepared to wait until Tielemans’ current contract expires to secure the Belgian on a free transfer.
With several months having passed since then, the Gunners have identified a number of options in central midfield who could join the club instead of Tielemans, with Arthur the latest to be linked. In early September, the 26-year-old was loaned to Liverpool from Juve for the remainder of the season, but injuries have seen him feature for just 76 minutes in senior fixtures.
Arthur is yet to have any impact in the Premier League for Liverpool but after undergoing surgery to fix his issues, he could still have a role to play before he returns to Italy at the end of the season and it could be the perfect Arsenal transfer audition.
