Arsenal 'rivalling Chelsea, Manchester City for Paulo Dybala deal'

Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with Paulo Dybala's representatives over a summer deal for the Juventus attacker.

The 28-year-old's contract in Turin is due to expire at the end of June, and he is widely expected to leave the Old Lady on a free transfer, with the two parties far apart in terms of their demands.

Chelsea and Manchester City have both been credited with an interest in the Argentina international, who is allegedly keen to move to the Premier League this summer.

However, according to Tuttomercatoweb, Arsenal have now officially opened talks with Dybala's agents over a switch to the Emirates Stadium.

The report claims that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu are both desperate for the South American to move to North London ahead of next season.

Dybala has had his injury problems during the 2021-22 campaign but has still contributed 13 goals and six assists in 29 appearances for Juventus in all competitions.

In total, the Argentine has netted 113 goals and registered 48 assists in 283 appearances for the Old Lady since making the move from Palermo in July 2015.
