According to the Standard, Arsenal are likely to launch a summer bid for Mario Lemina, the Juventus central midfielder.

As per Standard, The Gunners are set to offer Juve somewhere around 20 million euros for the services of the French midfielder. But having said that, Wenger has not opened any sort of formal talks with Juventus.

Lemina is being compared to Paul Pogba due to his physique and built. But Juventus will most likely let the player leave as he is not important to their current plans. Roma and Schalke are also said to be interested in the services of Lemina.

Arsenal will definitely be the frontrunners if they do eventually decide to go for the Frenchman. But Arsenal failing to qualify for the Champions League next season can complicate the deal a little bit.

Arsenal already have a host of midfielders available at their disposal. Aaron Ramsey, Granit Xhaka Francis Coquelin are all central midfielders. While Santi Carzola is also likely to return to the squad after a long-term injury.

And if the Gunners do decide to sign Mario Lemina then it would potentially mean that Jack Wilshere’s career at Arsenal will be well and truly over.

Mario Lemina in numbers:

Appearances:  10 (Serie A)
Minutes played: 728
Chances created: 5
Goals: 2
