Arsenal’s interest in Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina is rumored to be steadily increasing. The Gunners are in desperate need of reinforcements, and high on that list is a quality player to pair with Granit Xhaka in the heart of Arsenal’s formation. If reports are to be believed, the 23-year-old Gabonese seems to have caught Arsene Wenger’s eye, and on paper, this one makes perfect sense for all parties involved.
Lemina arrived at Juventus in 2015 on loan from Olympique Marseille, with the Bianconeri securing the option to sign him on a permanent deal for €9.5 million. Lemina took advantage of injuries in Juventus’ midfield to earn significant minutes in his first season, and showed enough promise for Juventus to make his transfer permanent.
