Trio want Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke, who has admirers at Arsenal and Spurs.
A trio of Serie A clubs have entered the race for Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke, according to talkSPORT.
Scudetto winner Juventus, plus Lazio and Napoli are said to be keen on the Belgian, who is also attracting interest from Arsenal and Tottenham.
Benteke, who has scored 23 times in 40 appearances since arriving in England from Genk, handed in a transfer request in the summer but later retracted it and signed a new deal at Villa until 2017.
But with Paul Lambert’s side still struggling, Benteke’s suitors have refused to be put off and Villa could face bids for the Belgium international in January.
Spurs are thought to still be in the market for a striker, despite spending £26m on Roberto Soldado this summer, while Arsenal have just one trusted senior forward in Olivier Giroud.
