New Juventus deal for Rugani won't put off Arsenal boss Wenger

Juventus' new deal for Empoli defender Daniele Rugani won't put off Arsenal.

Juve have held Rugani in co-ownership with Empoli and this week negotiated the remaining 50 per cent of his registration for €3.5 million.

The Bianconeri chose to splash out this week after learning of Arsenal's interest in Rugani.

SportItalia says despite the agreement, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will have scouts posted to continue tracking Rugani for the remainder of the season.

Wenger, if the reports are positive, will table a bumper offer to Juve in the summer for the young centre-half.
