Juventus 'are eyeing a loan deal for Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek as a replacement for Arthur' - who is in talks with Arsenal over joining them until the end of the season

Juventus are plotting for life after Arthur by making a move for Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to reports in Italy.

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 Tuchel.

According to Sky Sport in Italy, Juventus have identified the English midfielder for his technical qualities and for the possibility of signing him on a permanent deal later down the line at a fair price within their strict budget.
