Arsenal are making a late move for Juventus defender Mehdi Benatia.

Benatia's future at Juve is clouded after admitting he is considering an offer from Olympique Marseille.

However, Corriere dello Sport says Arsenal are also in contact with Juve for Benatia, on recommendation of new manager Unai Emery.

Emery is a big fan of the Morocco captain and believes if he's available then Arsenal should move for Benatia.

Just days ago, the defender revealed: "I still have two years of contract. My priority is the World Cup. And after we'll see what's better for me, for my club."
