Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with a summer move for Torino's Italian international defender Angelo Ogbonna.

The 24-year-old, who started at the back for the the Azzurri during their 2-1 friendly defeat to England last August, could complete a switch to the Premier League at the end of the season.

Italian website Football Italia links the centre-back with a transfer to Arsenal or Liverpool, who may have to pay Torino chief Urbano Cairo's £17m valuation to secure his signature.

While a number of Serie A clubs are interested in signing the Italian of Nigerian descent, including Juventus, AC Milan, Napoli and Fiorentina, the player himself would prefer a move abroad.

Speaking on reports in his homeland on a mooted switch to the Italian league leaders Juventus, Ogbonna said: "For now, Juventus are not in my future - I just see Granata.

"A move abroad? Why not? My dream is to play in a Champions League final."
