Juventus defender Medhi Benatia turns down interest from Arsenal and Fulham to agree a deal with Qatar-based club Al Duhail, according to a report.

Juventus defender Medhi Benatia has reportedly turned down interest from Arsenal and Fulham to agree a deal with Qatar-based club Al Duhail during the January transfer window.

Benatia, 31, has only made five Serie A appearances for Juventus this season.

The centre-back has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, but according to Marca, the Morocco international has agreed a deal with Al Duhail.

Medhi has made 59 appearances for Juventus since joining the Italian champions - initially on loan - in July 2016.

Arsenal are facing a defensive crisis with Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin both out for the season, while Sokratis and Laurent Koscielny both picked up injuries during Friday's 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup.
