Arsenal are reportedly one of the ‘top contenders’ to sign Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram, as per Italian outlet Tutto Juve.

The Gunners started the season with the ambition of finally becoming the Premier League champions this term, but they endured an inconsistent start. As a result, they found themselves five points behind Liverpool after the first five games, with the Reds winning all of their matches.

However, things have turned completely on their head following the Merseyside club’s three consecutive league defeats. At the moment, Arsenal are four points ahead of Arne Slot’s side and are three points clear of second-placed Manchester City at the top of the table. Mikel Arteta’s side are currently the favourite to become the English champions this season.

Meanwhile, the North London club have also been keeping an eye on the market to reinforce the squad further despite already building a strong team.

Tutto Juve report that Arsenal are contemplating purchasing a new midfielder despite recently signing Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, and have identified Thuram as a serious option.

The Gunners have started monitoring his development closely before making a potential swoop. However, Arteta’s side aren’t the only club in this race...
