Arsenal, Chelsea target claims it's 'an honour' to be linked to Juventus

It looks like Juventus are inching perilously close to Arsenal and Chelsea target Corentin Tolisso, after all.

Speaking to Eurosport (via our Italian Page) yesterday, the 22-year-old star admitted that it would be “an honour” to be linked to the Serie A giants.

Moreover, the Olympique Lyonnais playmaker seemed to hint at the possibility of a summer move:

“Juve is a historic club, their interest is an honour to me.

“I’m thinking of Lyon, where I’ll play the second half of this season and where I’ll leave nothing on the field.

Corentin Tolisso, has also attracted interest from Chelsea, as well as confessing his desire to play for Arsenal.

This interview came out only a few hours before Calciomercato correspondent Fabrizio Romano exclusively confirmed that Juventus were making the 22-year-old a priority for the current transfer window, and were looking to reach an agreement with the French midfielder’s entourage.

Tolisso has scored 17 goals in 102 Ligue 1 appearances for Lyon, banging in four this season and adding two assists. He is set to cost something in the region of €40 million.
