Express: Reds eye Juve star

Liverpool and Arsenal will go head-to-head for the signature of Juventus star Alvaro Morata this summer.

The former Real Madrid striker has finally found his feet in Turin following a big-money move last year, keeping compatriot Fernando Llorente out of the starting XI in recent times.

However, Juventus are lining up a sensational bid for Palermo hotshot Paulo Dybala, with Massimo Allegri planning to pair the Argentine alongside former Manchester United and City man Carlos Tevez in attack.

Morata is desperate for a first-team role with the Serie A champions, but has made his agent aware that joining a new club could be on the cards at the end of the season.And reports in Spain claim that Liverpool and Arsenal are both keen to bring the 22-year-old to the Premier League, despite interest from childhood side Real.

Brendan Rodgers and Arsene Wenger are both big fans of the Spain international, but will have to pay more than the £14.5m spent by Juventus on his signature last July.

Despite the interest from England, Morata could instead favour a return to the Santiago Bernabeu, with the chances of regular action looking likely as question marks remain over the future of Karim Benzema.
