Leeds fans react as club reportedly battling Arsenal and Newcastle for Juventus midfielder Arthur
Leeds United are one of three clubs reportedly in the race for Juventus midfielder Arthur – and Leeds fans are excited at such an ambitious move.
Back in the summer of 2020, Arthur was one of the most high-profile transfers of the window – joining Juventus from Barcelona in a swap deal.
It saw Miralem Pjanic move to Barca. But moves for either midfielder has not worked out. Pjanic was loaned to Besiktas in the summer.
Arthur, meanwhile, has fallen down the pecking order at Juventus. This season, the 25-year-old has managed just 143 minutes of football.
Max Allegri has plenty of midfield options and prefers the likes of Weston McKennie, Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli and Rodrigo Bentancur.
report that there is a four-way chase on for Arthur – between Leeds, Arsenal, Newcastle and Sevilla. He will cost a record fee.
Indeed, Juventus would want £29.5million – making his signing more expensive than Rodrigo by £2.5million. But at 25, he has resale value.
What are Leeds fans saying about Juventus star Arthur?
Arthur is a brilliant player and with Bielsa now preferring to play two in holding midfield, he might be ideal alongside Kalvin Phillips.
Question marks surround whether he could cope with the intensity of Bielsa’s Leeds. But he is excellent on the ball, a deep-lying playmaker.
Leeds fans are delighted at the prospect of Arthur in a Leeds shirt and the majority would love the club to bring him to Elland Road.
