Juventus are eyeing a move for Arsenal right back Hector Bellerin next summer as they look for a long-term replacement for Stephan Lichsteiner.
The reigning Serie A champions are reportedly in the market for a new right back and have made the Gunners defender their first choice, according to Italian news outlet Tuttosport.
A host of right backs are being linked with The Old Lady, with the Italian side also shortlisting Thomas Meunier of Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid star Sime Vrsaljko as potential targets.
Juventus have identified Arsenal's Hector Bellerin as Stephan Lichtsteiner's replacement
Bellerin was linked with a move away from the club last summer, with Barcelona reportedly interested in signing the Spain international.
It is still unknown whether a deal can be struck between the two clubs as Bellerin has cemented his place in Arsene Wenger's starting XI.
The 22-year-old signed a six-year deal with the Gunners last year making him one of the top earners at the club.
Lichtsteiner, who turns 34 years old next month, is the club's first-choice right back
Lichtsteiner, who turns 34 years old in January, was left out of Juventus' Champions League squad in September which could spell the end of his time at the club.
His current deal with Juventus runs out in 2018, after he extended his contract with the Italian champions in February.
