Emmanuel Eboue

Juventus are making progress in their search for a right wing-back, and Arsenal's Emmanuel Eboue is favourite to arrive at Vinovo.

According to Tuttosport, Alessio Secco has a London-bound mission planned, on which he will focus on the Ivory Coast international.

Eboue has a Belgian passport, which would be welcomed in Turin as he would not take up a non-EU place. The report suggests Bianconeri scouts have been following the African, and they have reported back with interesting news.

It is said Eboue will cost around €8 million, and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will not play hard-ball in the face of an offer. He would be willing to see what Juve bring to the table before making a decision.

Spanish giants Atletico Madrid are said to be interested in the 26-year-old. In light of that, Juve are racing ahead, and a January move could be in the pipeline.
