Juventus on Arsenal Defender Bacary Sagna

Oct 13, 2009 9:22:18 AM

Juventus have laid eyes on Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna as they draw up plans for the right side of their defence.

According to Tuttosport, Sagna is on top of the hit-list at Vinovo and director Alessio Secco is reportedly very keen to land him.

The Gunners man has all the qualities Secco is looking for in Turin with his experience and defensive prowess, but he is unlikely to be cheap.

It is said that Arsene Wenger could consider a sale, but the price is likely to scare off the Bianconeri. With that in mind, Juve are also looking at alternatives.

Hamburg's Jerome Boateng, who is wanted by Jose Mourinho, and Hoffenheim's Andreas Beck have also been mooted in Turin.

Despite the report, Juventus have not confirmed their interest in any of the players.

Clichy Focused On Arsenal Not Real Madrid

Talk of move to Bernabeu at back of defender's mind.

Oct 11, 2009 7:40:01 AM

Arsenal left-back Gael Clichy has insisted that he is fully focused on maintaining his form for club and country as rumours continue to link him with a move to Real Madrid.

The Frenchman inked a four-year contract in 2008, but reports surfaced again last week claiming that the Spanish giants were considering making a move for the 24-year-old at the end of the season.

Clichy though claims that he has not thought about the move and is concentrating instead on playing well for club and country.

"At the moment I am focused on Arsenal and France," he told the News of the World.

"This season could be very important to me and I desire to be focused in my work. The summer of 2010 is still very far away."
