Arsenal make Pogba bid?

Arsenal are reportedly ready to make a £20m bid in an effort to sign Juventus’ French ace Paul Pogba.

According to Sports Direct News, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will table an offer for the former Manchester United player.

The midfielder, who helped inspire the Old Lady to Italian Super Cup success on Sunday against Lazio, joined the Turin giants last summer after his Old Trafford contract expired.

However, Juventus are unlikely to let go of their 20-year-old given how highly he is rated by boss Antonio Conte.

The latter is understood to have told club officials in July that Pogba and fellow midfielder Arturo Vidal were not to be sold at any cost.

Pogba, now a French international, scored six goals in 38 games for the Bianconeri last season across Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League.

Marchisio's out for about 30-35 days apparently.

Was just thinking ,if Pogba in that time period continues his brilliant performance,he'll have to really fight hard to win it back.Conte also said that he is going to field the players(midfielders) who are in form and wont go by names.Its a damn shame how the scenario has unfolded from Marchisio's point of view.This injury came at the wrong time for him imo.

I completely agree. I think Pogba was already pushing for a starting spot. If he shines, Marchisio will be in trouble and Pogba was flat out dangerous when he touched the ball against Lazio. I can't wait to see him playing every game.
