Arsenal lose out to Juventus for Layvin Kurzawa?

Juventus are reportedly closing in on a deal for Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa.

The France international will see his current deal in Paris expire at the end of the campaign, and Arsenal have been strongly linked with a swoop.

The Gunners are believed to have been informed that PSG value the 27-year-old in the region of £4.2m, but according to Goal.com, Juve are now nearing a move for the left-back.

The report claims that the Italian champions are in advanced negotiations with Thomas Tuchel's side over a deal which is likely to see Mattia De Sciglio move in the opposite direction.

Kurzawa has made 14 appearances for the French champions during the current season but is behind Juan Bernat in the pecking order for the left-back spot at the Parc des Princes.

Arsenal, however, are allegedly in discussions with Atletico Madrid over a potential move for Thomas Lemar before the January transfer window closes for business.
