Juventus in double swoop for Walcott and Llorente

Juventus are plotting are move for disgruntled Arsenal winger Theo Walcott and Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente.

The Italian are prepared to offer Walcott what Arsenal do not which is a contract paying the England international 100k a week. Walcott was on the verge of a move leading up to the final day of the transfer window in August with Liverpool and Man City expressing interest.

Juventus manager Antonio Conte is apparently a big fan of Walcott and looks to augment by adding not only the winger but also Llorente whose stock rose following an outstanding run with Bilbao in the Europa League last season. It would be quite the swoop as Wenger states that contract talks with Walcott are still ongoing which means that he is still not willing to sign an extension otherwise he would have done so by now.
