Juventus have met with Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey.

Foot Mercato says Juve officials have met with Partey and his agents ahead of the January market.

Juve see Partey as a replacement for Paul Pogba. The Frenchman is facing a lengthy doping ban.

There is a belief Arsenal are willing to part with Partey given his injury problems and the arrival this past summer of Declan Rice.

Partey is also open to a departure after exploring the prospect before the start of the season.
