Juventus are eyeing Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek this month.
Sky Italia says if Arthur - as it seems increasingly likely - were to leave at the end of January Juventus, would have a low-cost solution ready to rebuild the midfield: by taking Chelsea's Loftus-Cheek.
The 25-year-old English midfielder has played 20 games this year for the Blues and provided three assists but is not considered a key player for Thomas Tuchel.
he two alternatives in case of failure of the deal would be Bruno Guimaraes of Lyon and Renato Sanches of Lille. However, the main problem with both are their transfer fees of in excess of £41.7million - an impossible price for Juve.
Loftus-Cheek would immediately be able to slot into Arthur's role at the club as Juve look to climb up the Serie A table.
Arthur has already chosen to leave Turin this month and plans to join Arsenal on loan.
