According to the Goal.com Arsenal reporter Charlie Watts and the famous Italian Sky Sports reporter Di Marzio, they confirmed that on Wednesday local time, Artur's agent Pastorello arrived at the Corny training base in London to conduct further negotiations with Arsenal, and Arsenal did not abandon the deal and further advance.
Arsenal are looking to finalize the six-month transfer as soon as possible, and Artur is also keen to join the Premier League. Juventus don't want to let Artur go without finding a replacement, though, and they're interested in Lyon's Bruno Guimarães, but the deal could be financially difficult.
Di Marzio also reported that their first replacement was Borussia Möncheng's midfielder Zakaria, but Bayern were also interested in him.
