Arsenal and Manchester United scouts will be present to see Merih Demiral in action for Turkey against Iceland later this week.
According to Bleacher Report’s Dean Jones, the player is increasingly likely to leave the Turin side during the January window.
Signed over the summer, there was a lot of excitement about Demiral at Juventus, but he has failed to break into the side this season.

Demiral has started just one league game for Juventus so far. The 21-year-old was always going to find it hard, espically after the arrival of Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax.
Juventus traditionally rely on experienced central defenders, so game time was always going to come few and far between.
At the age of 21, time is very much on his side and the fact Arsenal and Manchester United are already paying such an interest in him, even after the lack of game time, shows how highly rated he is.
It remains to be seen what Juventus’ stance on the player’s future is, but Demiral could turn out to be a bargain January target.
Either side would be getting themselves a young, promising defender who is eager to prove a point after a tricky few months in his career.
