Serie A giants Juventus have joined Arsenal in the race for Atlético Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian international has been a long term target for the North London giants, however, with the Italian side joining the race for Partey things could get tricky for Arsenal.
Juventus are reportedly looking to offer Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi in exchange for the midfielder. They value Costa and Bernardeschi the same as Partey and hence it is expected to be a straight player swap deal.
Philippe Coutinho have made headlines again with his impressive performance against parent club Barcelona in the Champions League.
