Arsenal are reportedly planning to launch a move for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani when the transfer window reopens in January.
The 21-year-old is struggling for minutes on the pitch in Turin as he is currently fighting Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli for a place in the team.
According to Calciomercato, the Gunners, who only signed goalkeeper Petr Cech during the summer window, will table a £13m bid for Rugani in January.
The Italian made 38 appearances during a loan spell with Empoli last season.
