Juventus will consider a move for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani as an alternative to Arsenal captain Robin van Persie.

Serie A champions Juventus have reportedly joined the race to sign Napoli striker Edinson Cavani.

Cavani's form last season has seen him linked with moves to Manchester City and Chelsea but Juventus are now believed to be considering a bid for the Uruguayan.

Italian newspaper Tuttosport has claimed that the Turin club are prepared to offer Napoli cash plus up to two players for Cavani.

Juventus have a transfer budget of £30m and will reportedly spend the majority of that sum on a striker in an effort to become a more prolific goalscoring side.

Arsenal captain Robin van Persie has also been linked with a move to the Italian giants in recent weeks.
