Arsenal’s pursuit of Arthur Melo is in danger of collapse - with Juventus unable to recruit a suitable replacement in the January transfer window.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants to take Brazil international Arthur on loan until the end of the season, but the deal has hit a stumbling block.
Sources close to Arthur said “the next 24 to 48 hours will be crucial” as all parties try to save the proposed deal from falling through.
