Arsenal joined by Juventus in race for Santos starlet Barbosa

Italian champions Juventus are set to make a bid for Brazilian young gun Gabriel Barbosa.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Bianconeri are willing to offer Santos £15million for the teenage striker in a deal that would include add-ons and bonuses.

Arsenal are showing significant interest in the prolific 19-year-old but it looks as though the Bianconeri are looking to steal a march on Arsene Wenger's men.

'Gabigol', as he is affectionately known, debuted for Santos in 2013 and has also won four caps for Brazil which have yielded two goals.
