Wenger Lines Up Giovinco & Marchisio

According to Tuttosport, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been blown away by the ability of Sebastian Giovinco, and is ready to table a bid for him and fellow Juventus starlet Claudio Marchisio.

Giovinco is widely regarded as one of the most explosive young talents in Europe currently, and he is being tipped by many experts to be a superstar in the near future.

The 21-year-old, who is back at Juve after spending last season on loan at Empoli, has hit the news recently due to problems regarding the renewal of his contract.

This led to reports last week that English trio Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool were all ready to take advantage of this confusion and bring the young prodigy to the Premiership.

Tuttosport today claims that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, well known for having an eye for young prospects, is a huge fan of Giovinco, and is already doing the ground work ahead of a transfer bid next summer.

Wenger will travel to next month’s Olympic Games specifically to watch Giovinco, and Italy Under-21 team-mate Claudio Marchisio, also of Juventus.

It has further been reported that Juventus are prepared to accept an offer for the two players, providing Robin Van Persie is included in part exchange. The Dutchman was linked with a transfer to Turin at the weekend, and is hugely admired by the current Juve management team.
