Transfer news: Juventus target Arsenal and Tottenham raid amid fears over Liverpool deal
JUVENTUS could look to plunder Arsenal or Tottenham this summer if a deal for Liverpool’s Emre Can falls though.
Juventus want to sign Liverpool star Emre Can
Juventus have been in talks with Can over a free transfer in the summer.
Can’s Liverpool contract expires in July and Juve are favourites to snap him up.
But following a major development over the weekend, where it was revealed the Reds can keep the Germany international by offering him £200,000 a week, Juve have drawn up a list of replacements should the transfer collapse.
And two names on their list are Aaron Ramsey and Mousa Dembele.
That is according to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, who claim Juventus will not hang around should Can snub their advances.

Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey could also be targeted
It is claimed Juve have seven possible options to replace Can as their top midfield target.
Ramsey, whose contract expires next summer, is supposedly a viable option.
The Wales international has drawn criticism this season for his performances and a clear-out at the Emirates could be forthcoming.
As for Dembele, he has played 34 games for Tottenham this season but could be sacrificed if manager Mauricio Pochettino finds a new midfield target.
Tuttosport claim Juve’s other options include PSG’s Adrien Rabiot, Roma’s Lorenzo Pellegrini and Bryan Cristante of Atalanta.
The Turin giants are also keen on Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, although a deal for the Serbia international may prove out of reach.
