Arsenal and Chelsea face competition for Lyon star Corentin Tolisso from Juventus

Juventus have joined Arsenal and Chelsea in the race to land highly-rated Lyon star Corentin Tolisso, according to Italian reports.

Gazzetta dello Sport have revealed the Italian giants are preparing an opening bid for the 22-year-old, who has caught the eye of Europe's top clubs with a string of fine displays in Ligue 1.

The report also claims that Lyon have put a £34m price tag on the talented Frenchman, although Juve are set to offer a cash-plus-player deal to swoop in and land Tolisso from under the noses of their rivals.

Gabon international Mario Lemina is said to be a transfer target of Lyon and Juventus are reportedly planning offering his services plus £17m in exchange for Tolisso, who refused to join Napoli last summer.

The 22-year-old has scored nine goals in 33 appearances this season, guiding Lyon towards the European places in the French top flight.
