"Arsenal" battles "Juventus" for Llorente and Walcott © EuroFootball.com

London's "Arsenal" is gearing up to battle Turin's "Juventus" - the Italians not only want to snatch up Bilbao "Athletic" striker Fernando Llorente from under the noses of the English, but also to lure Theo Walcott away from London.

According to the "Daily Mirror," Walcott is the first candidate on "Juventus" coach Antonio Conte's list to bolster the right wing of their attack.

Currently, negotiations between "Arsenal" and Walcott regarding the extension of his contract are stalling, as Walcott wants to earn £100,000 per week while the club is offering only £75,000. So, the possibility of Walcott being sold is not ruled out.

Furthermore, "Juventus" is actively tempting Llorente, to whom they have reportedly offered a preliminary contract worth €145,000 per week.

This season, the Spaniard has scored one goal in 4 league matches, while last season he scored 16 times.
