Arsenal Transfer News: Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini Reportedly Targeted

Arsenal are reportedly interested in bringing Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini to the Emirates Stadium in the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old has a release clause of £26 million, and Serie A champions Juventus are also interested in him, according to Sky in Italy (h/t Sky Sports).

Arsenal announced Unai Emery as their new coach on Wednesday, and his relationship with Roma director of football Monchi could play a part in any deal, according to football writer Colin Millar:
