Rumours linking Arsenal with moves for Giorgio Chiellini and Gianluigi Buffon have resurfaced in the English press, according to Tuttomercatoweb.com.

According to the report, two British papers have claimed Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is devising a plan to lure the Bianconeri duo to London. It's not the first time the Gunners have been linked with the Juve defender. He was also the subject of great speculation during last summer's transfer market.

In addition, voices claim Wenger has also added Buffon to his summer wish list with a €20million bid being touted for the goalkeeper.

Juventus have always maintained they would not sell their star duo. Both men are a big part of the club's plans for the future, and it seems highly unlikely that they would be willing to sell.

Also, the reported €20m figure for Buffon seems a far cry from what the club are likely to demand for their man according to reports around Italy. It was not too long ago that Juve reportedly rejected a massive €75m bid from Manchester City for the custodian.
