Juventus reportedly trail Arsenal in the pursuit of Netherlands and Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar.

The 29-year-old couldn’t secure a summer move away from the Villans despite an impressive World Cup performance, but could be set to leave the club in this coming window.

The dire situation of Arsenal’s defence has prompted the Gunners to remain one step ahead of the Bianconeri in the hunt for the player, according to The Daily Mirror.

While Juventus are definitely in the market for a defender, their situation is not as desperate as Arsene Wenger’s side, who have been forced to play left-back Nacho Monreal at the heart of the defence in recent weeks.

Vlaar has been capped 31 times by his national side, with the majority of the appearances coming since he joined Villa in 2012.
