Arsenal have reportedly had a bid for Juventus’ Daniele Rugani rejected.

According to Calciomercato, we made a bid in the region of €30m for the defender but the Seria A club turned it down. You have to wonder whether this has something to do with us saying no to their offer for Alexis Sanchez.

Rugani is only 21 years old so a bid of around £25m is pretty generous. What’s more is that he only made 17 appearances in the Italian League last season. Although he did begin to feature more towards the tail-end of the term, he’s still by no means a proven defender.

Watch him in action below.
