da cassino: According to Sport 1, Arsenal have a lucrative offer on the table for Juventus midfielder Emre Can.
What’s the word?
da heads bet: Juventus and Borussia Dortmund have agreed on the terms of a transfer for the German to move to the Bundesliga this January.
However, the deal has hit a sticking point with Can yet to accept BVB’s offer.
Per Sport 1, the move is shaking because of numerous lucrative offers the former Liverpool man has from across the continent.
As well as attracting the interest of Germany, he has terms on the table from Tottenham, PSG and Arsenal.
It’s also claimed that a top Spanish club are in the race to land him this winter.

Isn’t needed
With Cedric Soares expected set to sign for the Gunners before the deadline, it could finally see Ainsley Maitland-Niles get a chance in the middle of the park.
The youngster is a midfielder by trade but with injuries to Hector Bellerin throughout last season and the current campaign he’s been deployed in defence instead.
Who on earth is that?!?! Can you name all of these obscure January signings?
However, the arrival of the Southampton defender may well present the academy man with the opportunity to move infield to his preferred position.
With Granit Xhaka being convinced to stay in north London by manager Mikel Arteta too, it feels as though midfield recruits shouldn’t be at the height of the Gunners’ agenda.
Can has 115 Premier League appearances to his name but despite being a steady player in central areas, achieving a pass success rate of 85.5% in his final season with Liverpool, he won’t be remembered for much aside from an acrobatic goal he scored against Watford.
With deadline day now here, Arsenal should forget about concluding this deal.
