JUVENTUS are rumoured to be on the verge of swooping for Arsenal frontman Alexandre Lacazette.
It comes with the Turin giants expecting Gonzalo Higuain and a number of their other forwards to be heading for the club’s exit this summer.
Juve are thought to have an agreement in place with Poland forward Arkadiusz Milik, 26, who’s one of their main summer transfer targets.

However, Gazetto Dello Sport claims the Serie A league leaders are yet to agree terms on a deal with Milik’s current employers Napoli.
And they’ve identified Lacazette, 29, who joined the North Londoners in a stunning £52million move in 2017, as another player they’d like to add to their ranks.
Lacazette has been in decent form for Arsenal in recent weeks, scoring twice for the Gunners in their last two league games.
The striker has been on target nine times in 27 league appearances so far this term, including a thumping goal in the North London derby on Sunday.
It’s rumoured the France forward’s future at the Emirates could depend on the next move of high-scoring teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gunners are desperate to get Aubameyang, 31, who’s this season’s second-highest Premier League scorer, to agree to a new deal.
But if were to depart, it’s unlikely Lacazette would be allowed to go too.
Arsenal, who suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss away at Tottenham on Sunday, are currently ninth in the league on 50 points.
And they’re due to play champions Liverpool at home tomorrow evening.
Should the Gunners remain in ninth place, it will be the club’s lowest league finish since 1994-95 when they finished twelfth.
