Chiellini To Sign For Arsenal?


Chiellini To Sign For Arsenal?

Reports continue to speculate over Chiellini's Juventus future despite his brother insisting the stopper will remain in Turin...

Juventus could find it hard to hold onto Giorgio Chiellini in the summer as Arsenal are keen on the defender's services.

Reports in England and Italy have been rife with speculation, and Sportmediaset claims the Gunners are keeping a close eye on the Italian international.

Chiellini's consistency and age - he is just 24-years-old - have gone down well with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and a move at the end of the season could take off.

Although the north London side have laid eyes on the stopper, they may be disappointed as it was only on Monday that his brother Claudio Chiellini exclusively told Goal.com that no move is planned.

"Giorgio signed a renewal in July with Juventus and, even though I am not his agent, I can tell you that there is a difference between talking about a deal and actually doing one," Chiellini said.

"I think that a departure is just pure fantasy."

The former Fiorentina man has been outstanding for the Bianconeri, but it's unlikely Juve will consider selling him given their Scudetto and Champions League ambitions this season.
