Arsenal identify Hector Bellerin's replacement

It is becoming clearer with each passing day that Hector Bellerin is closing in on a move to Juventus next summer. Arsenal are ready to let him leave for a decent transfer fee and according to the folks at Tuttomercatoweb, the Gunners have already found his replacement.

It is claimed that Arsenal have earmarked Udinese's Silvan Widmer as the player to replace Bellerin at the Emirates. The 24-year-old has been a mainstay for the Italian giants since the past four years and his ability to play at right back and the right wing-back role is what is said to have caught Arsenal's attention.

Alex Sandro wants to join Chelsea

The Brazilian fullback has reportedly told Juventus that he wishes to leave the club in January and will join Chelsea in the winter transfer period. The Blues have been chasing Sandro since last summer and are now in pole position to sign him for around £60 million.

The Sun claims that the relation between the player and Juventus has worsened since the start of the season which has prompted Sandro to force through a move next month.
