Juventus have joined the race for Espanyol defender Hector Moreno, who has also been linked with Arsenal.

The Mexican centre-back is open to a move this month and, after switching agents recently to Mino Raiola, is expected to be front and centre as the January window enters its final period.




Arsenal are thought to hold an interest in Moreno, though Villarreal defender Gabriel Paulista is their current first choice.

 


Now, according to Catalan daily Sport, Juventus are also on the defender's tail.
