Arsenal and Liverpool target Juan Iturbe has moved a step closer to making a big-money move to England next season after his agent confirmed two Premier League clubs are ready to pay £18m to clinch his signature.

The two English sides have both been strongly linked with the 21-year-old Roma winger who is rated one of the best young players in Serie A.

Both Arsene Wenger and Brendan Rodgers are looking to strengthen their squads during the summer and have been impressed with the performances of Iturbe in Italy this season.

Roma will be doing everything to keep their star asset at the club, but Iturbe's agent Gustavo Mascardi claims there is a lot of interest in the Argentine player and there could be a lot of activity during the summer.

Mascardi, speaking on Radio Crc, said: "There are two teams in England who want him and would be willing to pay the fee that Roma did for him."
