Juventus are reportedly demanding that Arsenal hand over Thomas Partey if they are to accept an offer for midfielder Arthur Melo this January.
The Gunners are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements with just one senior midfielder currently available due to AFCON, Covid and injuries.
Arthur has emerged as their top target and the Brazilian is said to be open to a move.
Reports had claimed that Juve would accept a bid in the region of £35m for the player they signed for £72.
