Juventus are keen to sign Hector Bellerin.

According to a report in the Daily Mail the Arsenal defender is high on the wanted list of the Italian giants who are determined to match the spending of their Spanish counterparts.

Bellerin signed a long term deal with Arsenal before Christmas but that hasn’t deterred Barcelona and Manchester City being linked with the full-back.

With uncertainty over the future of Arsene Wenger and their Champions League place under threat Juventus are preparing to test the resolve of the Arsenal board.

Arsenal signed Bellerin in 2012 as a teenager from the Barcelona academy and has long been linked with a return to the Nou Camp.

The Gunners are well aware of the interest from elsewhere but have rewarded the 22-year-old throughout his development at the club.

Losing out on a Champions League place could alter things with two of the biggest clubs in Europe set to pounce if they are given any encouragement.
