Gabriel Martinelli not the only Arsenal player Juventus are reportedly interested in
The Serie A side seem to be eyeing a major swoop of Arsenal players this summer.
According to Mirror, they are targeting Gunners defender Gabriel Magalhaes as they adjust to life without legendary former centre-back Giorgio Chiellini.
Gabriel has been impressive in tandem with Ben White at the heart of Mikel Arteta's side's defense this season.
The Brazilian appeared 39 times for the north London side, scoring five goals and was a key part of the Gunners' failed push for a potential top-four finish.

Alongside Juventus' reported interest in Gabriel is Thomas Partey, of whom AS (via Express) reports could be on his way out of the Emirates Stadium this summer.
The reported grievances between the midfielder and Arteta have been cited with a fee of around £30 million being touted. Partey missed the last nine games of the season through injury, with the Gunners' top four challenge coming undone during his absence.
