Juventus have reportedly singled out Arsenal’s\u00a0Thomas Partey as a replacement for Paul Pogba should the midfielder receive a lengthy ban for failing a drugs test.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman has been provisionally suspended and could be banned for up to four years after testing positive for testosterone.<\/p>\n
The positive test was reported to have occurred after Juve’s Serie A fixture against Udinese on August 20, a game in which he did not play.<\/p>\n
The maximum suspension in such cases is four years – an initial two-year ban, which can be doubled if it is proven that the substance was taken deliberately.<\/p>\n
Reports in Italy claim Juve could cancel Pogba’s contract if he is banned and the club are already drawing up a contingency plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

La Repubblica\u2019s Turin edition\u00a0says that Arsenal\u2019s Thomas Partey is a name on their shortlist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Partey was linked with a move to the Italian giants in the summer but the report adds that he will be difficult to prize away from the Gunners.<\/p>\n
The Ghanaian is currently on the sidelines with a hamstring injury but it is hoped that he will be back in action in around a month.<\/p>\n
He started Arsenal’s first three Premier League games though was shifted to an unfamiliar right-back position.<\/p>\n
