Gilberto keen on Juve move

Arsenal's unsettled Brazilian midfielder Gilberto Silva has reiterated his desire to leave the club in the January transfer window.
The 31-year-old has been one of the casualties of the Gunners' excellent start to the campaign, starting only three Premier League matches to date.
Arsene Wenger has preferred to use the combination of Cesc Fabregas and Mathieu Flamini in midfield, prompting Gilberto to look elsewhere, including Juventus.
He told the Daily Star: "Juventus are a prestigious club. They have overcome the problems that forced them to come back from Serie B.
"I would gladly move to Turin. But their directors should know that I do not want to go to war with Arsenal, so if they want me they should talk to my club.
"I feel disposed towards moving to Italy. I like Serie A, despite the recent crowd trouble."
