Arsenal reject Thomas-Arthur swap deal

Arsenal and Juventus are in negotiations for Arthur Melo. The Brazilian, after not succeeding at Barcelona, is not succeeding in the ranks of the 'bianconero' team either.

Mikel Arteta's side are looking for a new midfielder for the second half of the season, and that's where Arthur's name comes in.

However, Arsenal are not willing to take out a mortgage on the Brazilian. Juventus want a player in return and have asked for Thomas Partey.

This proposal, according to 'Sky Sport', has been rejected by the Gunners, who are not willing to get rid of an important player in Arteta's plans.

Loftus-Cheek could arrive at the Juventus Stadium to take Arthur's place. Chelsea would not be unhappy to let a player with few minutes go.
