Arsenal have been linked with a move for young 16-year-old striker Moise Kean, who is yet to agree a professional contract with Juventus.
A product of the Juventus academy, the Italy Under-17 forward has been earning rave reviews with the club’s youth teams, but they are struggling to tie him down to a professional contract.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus are having disagreements with super agent Mino Raiola over the direction of the youngster’s future at the moment, which has led to speculation that he could leave the club this summer.
Raiola wants his young client to taste first team action next season, possibly on a loan stint, but Juventus want to keep the player engaged with their youth teams for one more season.
It has led to a conflict between the super agent and the Italian champions, and the forward is yet to sign his first professional contract with the club.

Arsenal are interested in snapping up the youngster this summer, and are said to be closely monitoring the situation in Turin regarding Kean’s future at Juventus.
Juventus are not worried about losing the forward at the moment as any transfer would require the consent of his parents, and the club are confident of agreeing a deal soon.
Raiola is set for further talks with Juventus over the young striker’s future, and a decision is expected to be made by the end of this month.
Kean has so far scored 24 goals in 25 appearances for Juventus Under-17s, and has been capped eight times by Italy Under-17s.
