- The Gunners are looking for defensive reinforcements.
- Arsenal and United have sent representatives to make personal checks on the centre-back.
- Milan also monitor the 21-year-old.
- Juve are ready to cash in on the Turk.
According to Turin-based media outlet Tuttosport, Arsenal are set to battle with Manchester United and Milan for Merih Demiral. The newspaper claim Juventus are ready to sell the centre-back should a lucrative bid arrives.
Tuttosport report that both Premier League clubs have sent scouts to watch the 21-year-old in action for Turkey in qualifiers against Iceland and Andorra.
The Old Lady spent £15.5m to sign Demiral from Sassuolo in the summer. However, he’s been struggling for playing time since joining the Bianconerri. The Turk has made just 1 appearance this term being behind Leonardo Bonucci and Matthijs de Ligt in Maurizio Sarri’s pecking order.

His contract runs until 2024. Earlier, Calciomercato reported that Atletico Madrid were also interested in Demiral with Juve being reluctant to sell their ace for less than €40m (£34.2m).
Arsenal are searching for defensive reinforcements as the team have already leaked 17 goals in 12 games. The Gunners have a negative goal difference (-1) and bringing in a centre-back looks like a reasonable move.
