Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin is Juventus’ top transfer target, according to reports in Italy.

The Spanish right-back has struggled for form this season, but remains the first-choice at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger has always kept faith with Bellerin and the defender is considered a key member of his side.

But, Tuttosport claim Juventus are set to test Bellerin’s commitment to Arsenal in the coming months.

Bellerin is under contract at Arsenal until 2023 after signing a six-year deal in November and Juventus would need to make a significant offer to lure him away from London.

Juventus are preparing for the potential departure of Stephan Lichtsteiner who is tipped to leave the club in the summer.

Lichtsteiner could exit Juventus as soon as January after a disappointing season for the Italians.

Juventus have been alarmed by the 33-year-old’s decline this campaign and Lichtsteiner was not included in their Champions League squad.

Bellerin has often been linked with a move away from Arsenal as one of the best performing right-backs in the Premier League.

Barcelona have consistently been mooted as suitors of Bellerin, who was born in the city and played for the Catalans’ youth team.

Wenger plucked Bellerin from Barcelona’s youth set-up and brought him to England in 2011 as a 16-year-old.

Bellerin stormed through Arsenal’s academy ranks and has made 133 appearances for the club.
