Edu can sign Juventus star Arthur Melo for Arsenal in summer transfer window on one condition

According to reports, Arsenal may be offered a fresh opportunity to sign Juventus star Arthur Melo this summer - but it comes at a heavy price for the Gunners.

The Brazilian was linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium throughout the January window as Edu and Mikel Arteta attempted to bolster the club's midfield options. He was seen as a priority target for the Gunners this winter but in the end a move failed to come to fruition as the two failed to see eye-to-eye on the duration of a loan deal - the Italians preferring an 18-month switch, whilst Arsenal only wanted to welcome him until the end of the current campaign.

Nevertheless, Arsenal could still sign the £18m-rated midfielder, if the latest reports are to be believed. According to Gianluca di Marzio, via The Express, Juventus are hoping to land Gabriel Magalhaes - who has featured in every Premier League match for Arsenal since the end of August - in the not-too-distant future.
