I'd say him and Guimaraes are very similar the only major difference is Guimaraes is much bigger and stronger (Bruno is 6ft and Arthur is 5ft 7) and uses his strength and upper body not to be pressed off the ball and also has not been in constant shit for getting pissed up with Neymar and drink driving, then again partying whilst at Juventus, Guimaraes has also looked impressive in Europe, although it is the French farmers league, but Arthur has looked poor or average at best.

Arthur must have something about him to get signed by Barca and Juve.

Alvaro Morata was signed by Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Juventus. Doesn't mean anything.

And Arthur was signed by Juve as part of a very shady swap deal with Pjanic. Pjanic was then loaned out to Besiktas just a year later.

He could be Cazorla like, hes a very good passer and reads the game well, but theres no getting away from his off field antics at Barca and Juve and how small and light weight he is for our midfield.

Hes also pretty slow for a guy his size so it concerns me he will get pressed quick and bullied off the ball.

If we do pull it off, i hope he proves me wrong.

Any chance we can get this wrapped up for Sunday? We are absolutely threadbare!

Arsenal are close to securing an 18-month loan deal for Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo. Juve are willing to let the 25-year-old Brazilian go if they can bring in a replacement. (Tuttosport - in Italian)

Arsenal have, according to 90min, agreed terms on a loan deal for Juventus midfielder Arthur that has been in the pipeline for some time.

The Gunners will be taking the Brazil international through to the end of the season, when a permanent transfer could be pushed through, and are willing to pay his €168,000-a-week contract in full.

Can't be that good otherwise, they would keep him.

Arthur looks like a less mobile and less aggressive Torreira to me
Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.
