Arsenal offered former Chelsea striker

Juventus will reportedly offer Arsenal a choice of Gonzalo Higuain, Douglas Costa or Cristian Romero in exchange for Alexandre Lacazette.

The Gunners are hoping to reduce their wage bill this summer transfer window while creating funds for new signings.

The French striker could be one of the stars to depart with the Italian champions keen on the hitman.

And The Athletic claims new boss Andrea Pirlo is ready to offer Mikel Arteta his choice of three men to help facilitate a deal.

Striker Higuain, who turns 33 in December, is unlikely to interest the North London outfit, with the combination of his age and high wages making him an unattractive proposition.

It has also been claimed winger Costa looks unlikely to be heading to Arsenal.
