He is reportedly in talks with Juventus, where a former Arsenal staff member is now a director. This move follows changes within Arsenal's backroom staff after the team won the Premier League title last season. The club is also undergoing a review of its medical department following the exit of head of sports medicine Dr. Zafar Iqbal. Rehabilitation specialist Eneko Angulo is set to join Arsenal from Real Betis as part of the revamp.
