Arsenal have missed out on another potential signing this off-season with Fiorentina's Felipe Melo agreeing to a deal with Juventus.

The Brazilian midfielder was heavily linked with the Gunners but Juve have intercepted a possible move to England and will announce his arrival today.

The 26-year old has signed a four-year deal believed to be worth around £17 million and it comes just a day after Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino said he would speak to Arsenal about a possible transfer.
