Arthur to Everton transfer now on cards as privilege emerges
Everton could make another move for Juventus midfielder Arthur in the January transfer window, according to Tuttosport.
The Italian outlet reported on 21 November that the Toffees could rekindle their interest in the 28-year-old after pursuing him in the summer.
Arthur’s agent Federico Pastorello boasts “privileged” contacts in the Premier League where other suitors could emerge, with Marseille and Real Betis also possible landing spots.

With the January transfer window around the corner, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the Merseyside-based club reignite their interest in the Brazilian.

Everton, meanwhile, could do with another body in midfield as they look to claw their way away from the threat of the relegation zone.
Dyche has five central midfielders in his ranks but would be glad to have another option after seeing James Garner and Tim Igoegbunam pick up injuries since the start of the season.
The Goodison Park outfit, though, should be wary of signing Arthur, who made just one appearance during his last stint on Merseyside with Liverpool.
