Arsenal in Atletico Madrid contact for Morata as Juventus go cold

Arsenal are making a new move for Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.

Morata is available from Atletico after a season on-loan with Juventus and is wanted back by the Bianconeri.

However, Mundo Deportivo says the Gunners are also in the frame for the former Chelsea striker.

Juve are unwilling to pay his £30million asking price, having already spent £17m on loan deals for him. Morata scored 12 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions last season for the Old Lady, helping them qualify for next season's Champions League.

Arsenal are now on the hunt for two new strikers this summer with Alexandre Lacazette leaving for Lyon following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's departure to Barcelona in January.
