Arsenal move to beat Chelsea and Real Madrid for Swiss star!

Swiss-born Juventus defender, Stephan Lichtsteiner is out of contract at the end of this season, and is likely to sign a ‘pre-contract’ agreement with a new club in January.

Juve are keen to keep to keep the 30-year-old international on their books, but that seems ever more unlikely. It now looks like they will accept that Lichtsteiner will be moving on, and will attempt to get something out of the deal, rather than releasing him for free at the end of the season.

Arsenal are keen but they will have to fend off interest from Real Madrid and the Blues from Stamford Bridge in order to secure the 6-footer from Andligenswil, Switzerland.

The Gunners do have somewhat of a dilemma to ponder over if they do move forward for Lichtsteiner. He has already represented Juventus in this years Champions League, leaving him cup-tied for the remainder of the competition. Arsene Wenger will need to decide sooner rather than later if that is just a minor hindrance, or indeed, a deal-breaker.
