Tottenham gain crucial advantage over Arsenal in Paulo Dybala race following transfer update

Juventus forward Paulo Dybala is set to leave the club as a free agent this summer, but will only join a team in the Champions League next season, according to reports. It comes as the 28-year-old was unable to agree a new deal with the Bianconeri, putting an end to a seven-year stint at the club.

The Argentina international isn’t set to be short of suitors either, with North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham among those named in their interest. Both clubs have huge summers ahead of them in their vision to challenge at the top once again.

For the Gunners, they have missed a consistent goal threat up front all season and with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to be free agents, a forward will likely be a priority. Discussing the need for a striker, Mikel Arteta said: “He puts the ball in the net – that’s priority number one. Goal threat. Any successful team needs enough goal threat in the squad. Without it, you have nothing.
