Arsenal will reportedly try again to sign Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo in the summer, after a failed attempt in the January transfer window.

Arsenal will reportedly venture to sign Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo in the summer, after a failed attempt fell through in January.

Mikel Arteta's side were in talks with the Old Lady to sign the 25-year-old in the mid-season transfer window, but the negotiations ended before a deal could be agreed.

Arthur has made just 16 Serie A appearances during this campaign, largely due to injury at the beginning of the season, but nonetheless he would bring winning success to the Gunners, having lifted seven trophies in his career.

According to Calciomercato, the Gunners will try again in the summer transfer window, as they look to bolster their midfield option and bring more depth to their squad.

With the Gunners well in amongst the race for a top-four finish this season, Champions League football is on the cards for next year, and after a campaign with no European football this year, Arteta will want a larger squad to rotate in future.

Arthur still has three years remaining on his contract with Juve, having arrived in 2020 and gone on to make 58 appearances for the club.
