Arsenal are one of four Premier League clubs reportedly interested in signing Juventus star Paulo Dybala, who is out of contract at the end of the current season.
Manchester United, Newcastle and a host of top European clubs have all made contact with the Argentinian's representatives, according to ESPN, as the striker is coming to the end of his contract at the end of the current season. Tottenham Hotspur previously made contact with Juve's managing director of football, Fabio Paratici (now at Spurs), some time ago.
Dybala made the £23million move from Palermo to the Italian giants in 2015, initially agreeing to a five-year contract before extending his stay until the summer. Massimiliano Allegri's side were said to have offered the player a new deal worth around £160,000-a-week after tax but terms were changed following the arrival of Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina, resulting in talks over a new deal breaking down.
The 28-year-old is also being touted by other unnamed clubs in both Italy and Spain, and he is set to assess his options in the coming weeks as the season draws to an end but his stay long-term future at the Allianz Stadium is highly unlikely. Arsenal who are potentially viewing Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus as an option to reinforce the attacking options, are also monitoring the Argentina international's situation.
United meanwhile, are expected to rebuild their squad ahead of new manager's arrival, Erik ten Hag and view Dybala as a potential signing after failing to agree a swap deal for the player in 2019. Spurs were also on the verge of signing Dybala three seasons ago, after reportedly agreeing a £65m deal with the club, but his wage demands stopped the deal from getting over the line.
Newcastle on the other hand, are seeking a key summer signing to continue rebuilding their new area under the Saudi-led ownership and establish themselves in the Premier League.

Allergri who has previously spoke about his relationship with the striker, said : "The rapport with Paulo and all the players is good. There are some exchanges of opinion, I am always rather direct, but I am like this for the good of the players, who know they have my faith and admiration."
When asked whether he would remain at the club past the summer, he added: "I don’t know if he will be a Juventus player or not, that is a matter for the club. We often talk with the club, it’s not just Paulo whose contract is running down, but also Bernardeschi, De Sciglio, Perin and Cuadrado."
In total Dybala has made over 280 appearances for Juventus, scoring over 110 goals. Only 10 players in the club's history have scored more.
