Arsenal continue to look for potential pawns, especially players they have invested heavily in.
Nicolas Pepe is mediocre, and the Gunners are looking for options. One of them is a possible deal with Juventus for Dejan Kulusevsky.
according to All JuventusArsenal set their sights on the 21-year-old midfielder, who did not get much rest in Turin.
Kulusevsky has only made two starts for the Bianconeri, but changes in the environment can provide the impetus for his sluggish career.

However, Arsenal must meet Juventus’ financial needs to achieve this goal.

A deal involving Pepe may make sense between Arsenal and Juventus. The Ivorian is worth 72 million pounds (97 million US dollars), but like Kulusevsky, he might flourish if he changes sides.
So far, the 26-year-old player has failed to cash in on the Gunners’ huge investment in him, and some claim that Arteta has no patience.
In his 95 games, Pepe scored 25 goals in addition to 18 assists.
Exchanging positions with Pepe can help Kulusevsky perform better, not to mention more opportunities to play.
For Le Zebre, this midfielder is mainly used as a substitute. He only played 62 times and scored 16 goals.
Kulusevski, who is only 21 years old, is a player who is still rough on the edges and has developed further.
Arteta may be the perfect mentor for the Swedes to achieve this goal, not to mention becoming a new important young player as the Gunners continue to reorganize.
This is a deal worth considering, although Arsenal seems to be a club that wants to improve.
Since their $97 million investment in Pepe proved to be a failure, replacing the Ivorian with a young player who can improve is an option that Arteta might take.
But the only question here is whether Juventus is willing to include Kursevsky and pay for Pepe in cash.
If it is not a direct deal, then the logical move is for Arsenal to find someone willing to accept Pepe first.
