Real Betis are in talks with representatives of Brazilian midfielder Arthur, 28, over a loan move from Juventus.

Juventus are preparing to offer midfielder Arthur Melo to Arsenal as part of a swap deal for Thomas Partey.

Arsenal have been told to get ready for Arthur Melo to be made available by Juventus this summer after they were thwarted in a bid to sign him in January because the Serie A club could not find a replacement.

Arsenal will make a move for Arthur Melo, 25, from Juventus in the summer after failing to agree a deal for the Brazil midfielder in January.

Arsenal are close to securing an 18-month loan deal for Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo. Juve are willing to let the 25-year-old Brazilian go if they can bring in a replacement.
