Arsena l's hopes of signing Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo are set to be quashed by north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The Gunners have been chasing Arthur for much of the January transfer window, but Mikel Arteta is likely to miss out on the Brazilian in bitter fashion.
That is because Tottenham are on the verge of signing a Juve midfielder of their own, Rodrigo Bentancur, with the Bianconeri unlikely to let Arthur also leave.
