A transfer update surrounding Juventus that has emerged on Saturday could be great news for two Premier League clubs.
The Premier League clubs in question are Arsenal and Aston Villa.
Arsenal, for their part, had been linked with Juventus’ Arthur Melo for much of the January window, but that deal looked to have collapsed.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are said to want to sign Rodrigo Bentancur from the Turin-based outfit:

Aston Villa & Arsenal boost?
Now, Juventus are reportedly needing to get rid of one of these two players soon.
As per Fabrizio Romano, Juventus have submitted an opening proposal to sign Denis Zakaria immediately, but the Italians need at least one midfielder to leave in the next hours.
Romano goes on to name Arthur and Bentancur as the players that could leave right now.
Juventus have submitted an opening proposal to sign Denis Zakaria immediately: €7m add ons included. Borussia Moenchengladbach will decide soon. ⚪️⚫️ #Juventus

Given the winter window slams shut on Monday, Juventus seemingly need to act fast to get a midfielder or two out.
And with Arsenal having already been in contact over Arthur, it would make sense that Juve let him depart to the Gunners, instead of waiting for another team to come in for the Brazilian.
