Four hours after Arsenal trudged off at the end of a scoreless draw with Burnley yesterday afternoon, Juventus were producing a performance somehow even less threatening against Milan as their Serie A hopes were left hanging by a thread.
With a frontline of Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala, they failed to record a single attempt on target at San Siro and it went a long way to explaining why the Old Lady, like the north London club, are so interested in signing the striker Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina before the transfer window closes next week.
The latest reports from Italy indicate that Vlahovic is more likely to head to Turin, with Juve offering the Sweden international Dejan Kulusevski in addition to €30million (£25million).
