Mikel Arteta makes Juventus winger Federico Chiesa his ‘number one objective’

Arteta is hoping to bolster his midfield and wide areas.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made Juventus winger Federico Chiesa his ‘number one objective’, according to reports.

Their Premier League rivals Liverpool reportedly targeted Chiesa in the past and the Reds were once again linked with the Italian winger this week.

The Red manager Jurgen Klopp is apparently a big fan of the 25-year-old player. They will also face a task with Real Madrid.

Chiesa was impressive in Italy’s successful campaign in Euro 2020. The 25-year-old recently recovered from a long-term knee injury that he sustained in January 2022.

Juventus are going through an extremely difficult spell at the moment and could be open to selling some of their star players in the summer.

Paul Pogba has obviously been linked with a return to Manchester United as a result, while Dusan Vlahovic’s future remains uncertain.

While the signing of a new striker is not on the cards, Arteta is hoping to bolster his midfield and wide areas.

The report states that Chiesa could be ‘one of the great sacrifices’ made by Juventus with the ‘probable’ lack of Champions League football set to have a large effect on their revenue.
