Juventus manager Max Allegri has hailed Arthur Melo’s improvement after seeing a switch to Arsenal fail in the January transfer window.
The Brazilian was linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium throughout the window as Edu and Mikel Arteta attempted to bolster their 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 Arsenal and Juventus 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.
