Juventus have reportedly singled out Arsenal's Thomas Partey as a replacement for Paul Pogba should the midfielder receive a lengthy ban for failing a drugs test.
The Frenchman has been provisionally suspended and could be banned for up to four years after testing positive for testosterone.
The positive test was reported to have occurred after Juve's Serie A fixture against Udinese on August 20, a game in which he did not play.
The maximum suspension in such cases is four years - an initial two-year ban, which can be doubled if it is proven that the substance was taken deliberately.
