Change of manager could hurt Arsenal in transfer bid for hotshot Joshua Zirkzee

Arsenal may have to compete with Juventus for the services of Bologna centre-forward Joshua Zirkzee this summer, according to a bit of two-plus-two thinking in the Italian press. Thiago Motta is considered a forerunner for the Juventus manager's job if Max Allegri opts to leave the club for a second time this summer – a distinct possibility, according to reports coming out of Italy. Motta is, of course, currently Zirkzee's gaffer at Bologna – so the reasoning is that if the manager makes the move to Turin, he may badger Juve into making a bid of their own for Zirkzee.
