Report: Champions League club want £26m Spurs star in January with Arsenal and Chelsea outcasts also on radar

Italian giants Juventus are scouring the Premier League for a potential January signing with Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea all having a player on their wishlist.

While it’s normally the English clubs going on the offensive in January, this time, it seems like the Serie A giants are going to be active as well.

The Turin based club are looking to improve their squad if they can in the winter window and according to TuttoSport, would ideally like to sign Benfica star, Antonio Silva, if possible.

However, Silva is a man in-demand and is wanted by a number of top clubs around Europe.

And because of that, Juventus are turning their attentions to the Premier League in case they need a plan B.

Juventus looking at Tottenham’s Radu Dragusin with Chelsea and Arsenal outcasts on radar

According to the report from TuttoSport, Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin is very much being considered as an option for Juventus in January.

Dragusin has been unable to secure regular minutes since his £26m move to Spurs in the summer and with a vocal agent, a move away has been mentioned more than once.

However, with Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou keen to keep Dragusin, Juventus are also eyeing up two other Premier League players as well.

One of those is Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior, who like Dragusin, has failed to cement himself in the team at The Emirates.

As well as Kiwior, Juventus are also looking at Chelsea defender, Ben Chilwell.

Juventus are open to signing Chilwell after witnessing him drop down the pecking order under Enzo Maresca.

Juventus’ Premier League target is obvious

It would be a huge surprise to see Spurs sell a player they paid £26m for just months into his time at the club.

Right now, it makes little sense and especially in mid-season, when replacing such players is even harder.

However, with Kiwior and Chilwell, there might well be more of a chance for Juve.

Even still, it’s unlikely Mikel Arteta will want to lose a player in January with Arsenal going for the title, which makes Chelsea’s Chilwell the most likely option.

Quite what Juventus plan to do with Chilwell given he is a left-back and the others mentioned here are central defenders, remains to be seen.
