Depressed Giovinco Considers Arsenal Move
According to Leggo, Sebastian Giovinco is so down about his current situation at Juventus that he is considering a move to long-term admirers Arsenal.
Sep 19, 2008 6:44:33 AM
Giovinco is regarded as one of Europe’s most explosive young talents, but his future at Juventus is uncertain due to two major reasons.
First of all the 21-year-old is currently in a contract dispute with the club. Giovinco is asking for an increase in salary to €1m a year but so far the club’s management is refusing to meet his demands.
Secondly, Giovinco is deeply unhappy about his lack of first team action, having only a few weeks ago claimed that he needs to play with continuity.
The fantasista has played just 25 minutes of Juventus’ five official games this season, a substitute appearance against Artmedia in the Champions League preliminaries in August.
Indeed Giovinco was not even on the bench during Wednesday night’s win over Zenit St Petersburg.
This has deeply upset the youngster and, according to Leggo, he may now consider a move to Arsenal.
The Premiership giants have long been linked with a move for Giovinco, and their manager Arsene Wenger is known to be a huge admirer.
Reports in England claim that The Gunners will table a bid for the attacking midfielder in January, a transfer Giovinco may strongly consider unless his contract and lack of playing time improves very soon.
