Juventus are counting on Arsenal trying again for Arthur Melo this summer,.

The midfielder, 25, was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates throughout January, but a deal never materialised.

However, the Gunners are still said to be considering a swoop with Juventus pushing for a sale.

Calciomercato.com says the Italian giants are desperate for Arsenal to make another bid.

Club chiefs are eager to offload his £4.3million-a-year wages before the start of the season, whether that be through a loan deal or a permanent transfer.
