Arsenal hopes dashed as agent says Daniele Rugani is staying at Juventus

Arsenal’s hopes of signing defender Daniele Rugani appear to be over.

The Gunners have been repeatedly linked with a move for Rugani – but his agent Davide Torchia believes his client will stay with the Italian club.

“It’s been a very positive season for Daniele,” Torchia told TuttoJuve.

“He’s played more than 1,000 minutes in the league and made 26 appearances, including 25 as a starter.

“It’s a nice improvement compared to the previous season and there is space to be able to do better next year.

“At Juventus it’s not enough just to be a good defender, you always have to do more.
